23 vinyl pressings of Histoire D'O (Bande Originale Du Film) are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1975 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in France, UK, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Barclay XBLY 80 571.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XBLY 80 571, SKL-R 5235, EMC 2541, 89 596 OT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BAR 80 571 A CIDIS and BAR 80 571 B CIDIS. 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.
