12 vinyl pressings of Sinfonie Nr. 9 D-Moll Op. 125 are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1962 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in France. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître FALP 30.224.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FALP 30.224) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 XLA 675 21C M6 207922 and 2 XLA 676 21 M6 206989. 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.
