67 vinyl pressings of 4-я Симфония Фа Минор, Соч. 36 are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1960 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in Germany, New Zealand. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 138 657 SLPM, released November 1960.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 138 657 SLPM, DGM 18657, LPM 18 657, SLPM 138657) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
