How do I tell if my copy of Ces Gens-Là is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 80323, 80 323 S, TL 5391, LD 15165) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HBLY 80323 A and HBLY 80323 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Ces Gens-Là on vinyl worth?
