Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Concerto No. 1 are there?

When was Concerto No. 1 first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal LM 2681.

How do I tell if my copy of Concerto No. 1 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM 2681, LSC-2681, LSC 2681, SB-6551) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, (PRRS-3346) and (PRRS-3347). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Concerto No. 1 on vinyl worth?

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.
