13 vinyl pressings of L'idole Des Jeunes are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1962 and 2009.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in France. One of them is Philips 432.810 BE, released October 20, 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 432.810 BE) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 432810 1ED1 380 A5 and PHI AA 432810 2E 380 PM 1.2. 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.
