22 vinyl pressings of Les Feuilles Mortes - 2 are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1955 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1955, in France. One of them is Odeon 7 MOE 2029.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7 MOE 2029, MOE 2029) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7 ARE 107 and 7 ARE 108. 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.
