14 vinyl pressings of Violin Concerto In D Major are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1979 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Australia, France and more. One of them is Angel Records SZ-37640.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SZ-37640, ASD 3726, OASD-3726, 2C 069-03509) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S-1-37640 G-3 Wayne MASTERED BY CAPITOL [(ᵛᵛ) logo] 36518 and S-2-37640 F6 MASTERED BY CAPITOLMO #2 KP #6 [(ᵛᵛ) logo] 36518. 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.
