15 vinyl pressings of Deux Concertos Pour Violoncelle are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1965 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France. One of them is Erato STE 50255.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STE 50255) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ERA 50255 LPL 912 1Y D1 380 and ERA 50255 LPL 912 2Y D1 380. 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.
