28 vinyl pressings of Impromptus Op. 90 & 142 are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1963 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in France. One of them is VOX GBY 12.390.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GBY 12.390) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XPARTX 51236 21F G BY 12390A M6 225645 and XPARTX 51237 21B M6 224957 GBY 12190B. 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.
