32 vinyl pressings of Piano Concerto No. 1 - Konzertstück are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1961 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK, New Zealand. One of them is Columbia 33CX 1731, released April 14, 1961.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33CX 1731, SAX 2380, TZ165) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 1943 - 3S I G and XAX 1944 - 4S I G. 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.
