11 vinyl pressings of Non Chalance are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, Spain and more. One of them is Fontana 818 820-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 818 820-1, 818 820-7, 601 377, 106 618) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 818 820 1 A 520 22 03 84 and 818 820 1 B 520. 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.
