15 vinyl pressings of Un Dewezh 'Barzh 'Gêr are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1978 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in France, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is CBS CBS 82823.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 82823, 6357 829, 2424 178, 0060.138) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 82823 A 090 784 and 82823 B 090 784. 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.
