The earliest pressings are from 1961, in France. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître 7 EMF 290.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7 EMF 290) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7TRA 10007 21 M3 215493 and 7TRA 10008 21 M3 215492. 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.
