14 vinyl pressings of Toi, La Musique Et Moi are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, UK, Belgium, Canada and more. One of them is Polydor 2056 506, released March 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2056 506, 2056 500, 2056 513, DF. 587) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2056 500 S1 320 C and 2056 500 S2 320 C. 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.
