23 vinyl pressings of Où Sont Les Femmes? (Extrait) are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1977 and 1995.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in France, Canada, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Barclay 62 298.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 62 298, 75002 G, 62298, 62298 EA) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BLY 62298 A¹ and BLY 62298 B¹. 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.
