10 vinyl pressings of Marigot Bay are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1980 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Germany, Japan. One of them is Metronome 0060.346.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0060.346, VIP-28001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 0060 346 S 1 0703 878 S 1 320 and 0060 346 S 2 0703 878 S 2 320. 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.
