The earliest pressings are from 1971, in France, Australia, Canada, Mexico and more. One of them is Sonopresse HY. 30902.
How do I tell if my copy of Françoise Hardy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HY. 30902, SITFL-934441, RSC 8006, GX 01-508) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HY 30 902-A and HY 30 902-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Françoise Hardy on vinyl worth?
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.
