16 vinyl pressings of Tarentule-Tarentelle are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1976 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in France. One of them is Harmonia Mundi HM 379.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HM 379) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HMO 379 LPL 4900 1Y DU1 380 CIDIS and HMO 379 LPL 4900 2Y DU1 380 CIDIS. 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.
