21 vinyl pressings of The Two Flute Concertos And Andante, K. 315 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1975 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US. One of them is RCA Gold Seal AGL1-5441.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AGL1-5441) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AGL1-5441A -1 and AGL1-5441B- 2. 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.
