18 vinyl pressings of Schumann And Lalo Cello Concertos are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1963 and 2008.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, Israel, Netherlands. One of them is Mercury SR90347.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR90347, MG50347, AN 67-38, 838 410 AY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SR-90347A RFR-1 F and SR90347B RFR-4 F MR. 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.
