26 vinyl pressings of Sinfonie Nr. 4 "Romantische Sinfonie" are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1967 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Germany. One of them is Philips 6833 029.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6833 029) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 835 385 1V2* 670 0411 BA 1A and AA 835 385 2Y 4 670 11 BK 3D 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
