11 vinyl pressings of Ivan The Terrible / Sinfonietta, Op. 48 are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Japan, France and more. One of them is His Master's Voice SLS 5110.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLS 5110, SB-3851, EAC-80418-19, 2 C 167-02966/7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Q2EA 6202-1 and Q2EA 6203-1. 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.
