21 vinyl pressings of Symphony No.2 In D Major are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1956 and 2012.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in UK. One of them is Columbia 33CX 1332, released June 1956.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33CX 1332) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 804-3N GD 13 and XAX 805-3N H 1. 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.
