28 vinyl pressings of Les Musiques Des Films De Charlie Chaplin are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1972 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in France, UK, Italy, Japan and more. One of them is Vogue SLD 837.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLD 837, SLD.837, NSPH 28173, NSPL 28173) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SMS 2794-30 and SMS 2795-30. 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.
