30 vinyl pressings of A Comme Amour - Les Fleurs Sauvages are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1978 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in France, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador and more. One of them is Delphine 700 025.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 700 025, ABL-17034, F.I 159, 6.23478) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 700025 A1 783 and 700025 B 783. 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.
