18 vinyl pressings of Concerto In E Minor, Opus 64 are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1965 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK. One of them is Mercury SR90406.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR90406, MG50406, SAL 3504) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SR-90406A-RFR-2 P13 PK and SR-90406B-RFR-2 1 RR. 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.
