10 vinyl pressings of Les Deux Concertos Pour Piano are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1970 and 1979.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6700 018, 6747 432) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6500 018 1Y 2 670 (P)1970 15 and AA 6500 018 2Y 4 670 (P) 1970 15 1 C 1. 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.
