Questions

How many vinyl pressings of French Style are there?

32 vinyl pressings of French Style are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1962 and 2023.

When was French Style first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Reprise Records R 6021, released April 1962.

How do I tell if my copy of French Style is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use R 6021, RS 6021, R9-6021, R96021) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is French Style on vinyl worth?

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.
