13 vinyl pressings of Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in France, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and more. One of them is Carrere 14.454.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 14.454, MRCS 2332, CAR 6.15099 AC, CBS 651588 7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A M [SNA Logo] A 14454 and A M [SNA Logo] B 14454. 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.
