11 vinyl pressings of Mam'selle Gisele are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1956 and 2000.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US, Brazil, Chile, France and more. One of them is Vik LX 1075.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LX 1075, VLA - 1.004, LX-1075, 430 240) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H4 PP1771-7S A1 R and H4 PP1772-7S A1 R. 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.
