17 vinyl pressings of Bande Originale Du Film Zorba Le Grec are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France, Germany, Austria, Benelux and more. One of them is 20th Century Fox Records 630003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 630003, IN - 4001, IN 4001, 630 003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HBLY 630003A and HBLY 630003B. 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.
