33 vinyl pressings of Concerto Pour Violon Et Orchestre are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1959 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Italy. One of them is Columbia SAXQ 7308.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAXQ 7308, 33QCX 10411) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YLX 1052 - 1 and YLX 1052 - 4G. 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.
