11 vinyl pressings of Sans Logique are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1989 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in France, Canada. One of them is Polydor 871 646-7, released February 20, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 871 646-7, 871 647-1, 6863 377) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 8716467 A PDO A1 and 8716467 B PDO A1. 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.
