11 vinyl pressings of On Me Recherche / Jésus Christ are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in France, Argentina, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Philips 6009.042.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6009.042, 6009042, 6009 042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6009042 1+380 and 6009042 2+380. 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.
