57 vinyl pressings of "Gigi" - Original Cast Sound Track Album are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1958 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is MGM Records E3641 ST, released October 1958.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E3641 ST, X3641 ST, MGM-C 770, M-G-M C 770) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 58 -ST#316B 055 Stereo #112058 and 58 - ST#539B [Scratched out] 055 Stereo #0916584. 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.
