37 vinyl pressings of Les Deux Concertos Pour Piano are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1960 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in France, US, UK, Canada. One of them is Columbia SAXF 136.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAXF 136, FCX 836, 35874, SAX 2394) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YLX 1046 21E and YLX 1047 21I. 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.
