21 vinyl pressings of Le Disque D'Or De Sidney Bechet are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1965 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France. One of them is Mode Disques MDINT 9314.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MDINT 9314, MDINT 9 314) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MDINT 1796 A2 and MDINT 1796 B2. 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.
