10 vinyl pressings of Marie-Blanche are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in France, Australia, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Pathé 2C 006-10.814 M.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 006-10.814 M, AQO 10887, 7l-3257, S 77.857) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 10814 MA 21 M3 271509 and 10814 MB 21 M3 271510. 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.
