15 vinyl pressings of Schéhérazade are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1974 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in France, UK, US, Italy and more. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître 2C 069-02527.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2C 069-02527, ASD 3047, S-37061, Q4ASD 3047) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M6 302483 4 02527 SQ A 21 and M6 302484 4 02527 SQB 21. 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.
