21 vinyl pressings of Vole Vole Farandole are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1969 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in France, Austria, Italy, South Africa and more. One of them is Philips 844.985 BY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 844.985 BY, PST 5126, 844 985 BY, BY 844 985) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 844.985 BY AA 844.985 1Y and PHI AA 8 44 985 1Y D1 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.
