73 vinyl pressings of Klavierkonzerte Nr.2 B-Dur Op.19, Nr.4 G-Dur Op.58 are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1962 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in Germany, UK, US, France and more. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 138 775 SLPM, released February 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 138 775 SLPM, LPM 18775, 618 775, 18775 SLPM) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Made in Germany 2L1 WO/S D +138771-2 A 138775-2 A and Made in Germany 2L1 WO/S H +138771-5 B 138775-5 B. 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.
