47 vinyl pressings of Konzert Für Violine Und Orchester D-Dur Op. 61 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1953 and 1963.
The earliest pressings are from 1953, in Germany, South Africa. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 18 099 LPM, released August 1953.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 18 099 LPM) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 031784² STS 18099 A and 031785 STS 18099 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.
