Vinyl pressings
by Joseph Haydn · 1960
The Salomon Symphonies, No. 11-12 was first pressed on vinyl in 1960. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
3 pressings came out in 1960, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

12 vinyl pressings of The Salomon Symphonies, No. 11-12 are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1960 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in UK. One of them is His Master's Voice ALP 1695, released April 8, 1960.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ALP 1695, ASD 341) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2XLA 45-2N R 1 and 2XLA 46-2N R 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.
