12 vinyl pressings of In Concerto are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1974 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Italy. One of them is Philips 6323028 A.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6323028 A, 6323 028 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 63 23 028 1 1 520 15 02 74 13 1 and 63 23 028 2 1 520 1502 74 13 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.
