Vinyl pressings
by Sergei Rachmaninoff · 1929
Piano Concerto No. 2 In C Minor was first pressed on vinyl in 1929. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
1 pressing came out in 1929, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.
Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.
By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

43 vinyl pressings of Piano Concerto No. 2 In C Minor are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1929 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1929, in US. One of them is Victrola M-58, released September 27, 1929.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M-58) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
