28 vinyl pressings of Poupée De Cire Poupée De Son are listed here, from 17 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France, UK, Germany, Netherlands and more. One of them is Philips B 373 524 F, released March 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use B 373 524 F, BF 1408, 373 524 BF, JF 328 036) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 373524 1F DN 380 and PHI AA 373524 2F DN D1 380. 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.
