10 vinyl pressings of Lettres De Mon Moulin Volume 2 are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1953 and 1964.
The earliest pressings are from 1953, in France, Canada. One of them is Disques Decca FM 133.023.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FM 133.023, LFC 5002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P33 1211 and P33 1212. 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.
