10 vinyl pressings of Полюшко-поле / По Долинам И По Взгорьям are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1947 and 1950.
The earliest pressings are from 1947, in Romania. One of them is Columbia DR 422.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DR 422) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 5951/4 Г-0168 and 13438 / 5 Г-72. 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.
