11 vinyl pressings of Concert are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1973 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in France, Canada, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Polydor 2669 007.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2669 007, 2664 305, 2679 022, 2393 076) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2669 007 A CIDIS A 11 and 2669-007 B CIDIS A 10. 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.
