64 vinyl pressings of Konzert Für Violine Und Orchester D-dur, Op. 35 are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1954 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1954, in German Democratic Republic (GDR), Germany. One of them is ETERNA LPV 1014.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPV 1014, LPM 18 196, 618 196) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VM 789/H C1-4 and VM 790/H A1-2. 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.
