12 vinyl pressings of Песни Александры Пахмутовой are listed here, from 1 country.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in USSR. One of them is Мелодия 33Д—00034889.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33Д—00034889, Д—00034889, 33ГД0003799, 33Д 00034889—90) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 33Д00034889/1-1 and 33Д00034890/1-2. 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.
