18 vinyl pressings of Violin Concerto, Coriolan Overture are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1971 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Australia. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 2667.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 2667, OASD 2667) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YEA.2154 and 2YEA.2155. 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.
