20 vinyl pressings of La Fête Sauvage are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1976 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in France, Italy. One of them is Pathé 2C 066 - 14.276.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 066 - 14.276, 14276, SAG 9069) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 14276 A 2 M6 311054 2 and 14276 B 2 M6 311073 2. 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.
