29 vinyl pressings of Les Grands Succès De Françoise Hardy - Greatest… are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1970 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in France, Australia, Canada, Greece and more. One of them is Disques Vogue SLD. 761.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLD. 761, SVL-934123, VCM-6044, VMO-2005) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SMS 2604-30 and SMS 2605-30. 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.
