43 vinyl pressings of At The Cafe De Paris are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1954 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1954, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Columbia Masterworks ML 4975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ML 4975, A-1115, BBR 8006 B07684R, B 07684 R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP34638-1B and XLP34639-2A. 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.
