28 vinyl pressings of Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960 are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1959 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in France. One of them is Fontana 680.203 ML.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 680.203 ML) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 680203 1L 380 and AA 680203 2L 380. 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.
