19 vinyl pressings of Symphony Nº 9 In C Major are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1961 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in France. One of them is Guilde Internationale Du Disque MMS 2215.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MMS 2215, M-2215) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XPARTX 48243 2 MMS 2215 - I - 25 M6 214003 and XPARTX 48244 3 MMS 2215 - II - 25 M6 214198. 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.
