16 vinyl pressings of Klavierkonzert A-Moll Op. 54 are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1951 and 1961.
The earliest pressings are from 1951, in Germany. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 16 007 LP, released October 17, 1951.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 16 007 LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 16007 A 31028² KK and 16007 B 31029² KK. 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.
