37 vinyl pressings of Jacques Brel 67 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1967 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in France, US, UK, Canada and more. One of them is Barclay 80 334 S, released January 23, 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 80 334 S, BB 120 SS, 80 334, VSD 79265) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HXBLY 80334A3 GP and HXBLY 80334B3 GP. 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.
