12 vinyl pressings of A Strauss Waltz Concert are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, Canada, New Zealand. One of them is Hamilton HLP 147.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HLP 147, HLP 12147(B), HLP 12147, HLP 147(A)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HLM 30,068 and HLM 30,069. 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.
