18 vinyl pressings of Ne Me Quitte Pas are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1972 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in France, Belgium, Mozambique, Portugal. One of them is Barclay 61 676.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 61 676, 61676, 2007 031, SP - 148) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BLY 61676 A and BLY 61676 B. 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.
