11 vinyl pressings of Abat-Jour / Tu Vita (Ô Toi La Vie) are listed here, from 2 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in Italy, Turkey. One of them is Cetra SP 1130.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 1130, SP. 1130) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SPC 03025 16.7.62 and SPC 02936 7.5.62. 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.
