15 vinyl pressings of Manfred Op. 58 Symphony After Byron In B Minor are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1964 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK. One of them is Philips SAL 3491.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAL 3491, AL3491) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6 AA 835 250 1Y 1 670 113C11 and 6 AA 835 250 2Y 1 670 114C16. 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.
