10 vinyl pressings of 6 Juin 1956 - 6 Juin 1980 24 Ans D'Age are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1980 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Zaire, US, Belgium, France. One of them is V.I.S.A. 1980 FRAN 004/005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FRAN 004/005, M 2380, FRAN 005, FRAN 004) 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.
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.
