18 vinyl pressings of En Concert ♥ Coup De Cœur are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1981 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in France, South Africa, Australia, Israel and more. One of them is Delphine DEL 5 700054/055.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEL 5 700054/055, DLPL 539/40, 800005, PL 31607(2)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO 700 054 A YD. and MPO 700 054 B Y.D.. 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.
