14 vinyl pressings of Paraphonic are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1969 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in France, Bolivia, Argentina, Italy and more. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître 2 C062 15550.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2 C062 15550, 2C062-15550, BOLP-284, LDM8201) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 15550 A 21 M6 265796 and 15550 B 21B M6 266377. 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.
