15 vinyl pressings of Les 16 Merveilles Du Monde De La Trompette are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in France, Argentina, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Delphine 700047.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 700047, DEL 2 700044, DEL2 700 047, DLF 8009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
