11 vinyl pressings of Amour, Danse Et Violons Nº 41 are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in France, Germany, Greece, Italy and more. One of them is Pathé 2C 062 - 15.558.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 062 - 15.558, 1C 062-15 558, PAT 111, 3C 062 - 15558) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 15558 A 21 M6 292871 and 15558 B 21 M6 292872. 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.
