69 vinyl pressings of Violin Concertos Nos 1 & 2 are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1961 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK, Australia. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 440, released November 3, 1961.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 440, ALP 1872, PASD 440, OASD-440) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YEA 567-2 and 2YEA 568-3. 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.
