12 vinyl pressings of Les Filles Du Bord De Mer are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître EGF 757.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EGF 757, EGR 158, 7 EGF 757, 7EPL 14.116) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TLB 115 2IB M3 236960 and TLB 116 2I M3 236849. 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.
