16 vinyl pressings of Symphony From The New World I & II are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1977 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, UK, Colombia, Ecuador and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 10 897, released February 1977.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 10 897, SON 2106, 05(3711)51982, ECK-200582) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WEA 177001-A PF and WEA 177-001-B PF. 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.
