18 vinyl pressings of Piano Concerto No. 4 are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1970 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, Australia. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 2550.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 2550, OASD 2550) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YEA 3591 1G and 2YEA 3592 3G. 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.
