10 vinyl pressings of J'Ai Laisse Mon Coeur are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1933 and 1936.
The earliest pressings are from 1933, in France, Germany. One of them is Columbia DF 1058.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DF 1058, DW. 4156) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CL4174-3 and CL4179-I. 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.
