13 vinyl pressings of C'est Ma Chanson are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in France, UK, Canada, Mexico. One of them is Disques Vogue EPL 8 508, released February 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPL 8 508, VRE 5025, EPL 8508, GX 07-448) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EXP 4897 VOG and EXP 4898 VOG 2. 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.
