About this record
The MPO pressing plant stamped this French Elektra reissue with the runout matrix MPO WEA 42106 A and MPO WEA 42106 B, marking it as a post-original manufacturing run for the domestic market. Véronique Sanson's Amoureuse arrived in France on Elektra catalogue 42 106 with the label's signature butterfly design and "Made in France" printed directly on the vinyl.
The 12-track chanson-ballad LP includes a black and white photo insert with lyrics, distinguishing this pressing from later editions. At 11 copies currently for sale, the lowest asking price sits at 7 USD, yet Mint examples command 21.84 USD—a steep climb that reflects condition sensitivity among the 146 collectors who own one.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this MPO-pressed French reissue. A Mint copy reaches 21.84 USD, while NM drops to 19.54 USD and VG+ settles at 14.94 USD; by VG the value falls to 10.34 USD.
The 11 copies listed for sale at 7 USD lowest price suggest aggressive pricing at the floor, yet the 30 collectors actively seeking this pressing against 146 who hold it indicates modest but steady demand. The Elektra butterfly label and "Made in France" designation anchor this as a legitimate French domestic pressing rather than a later reissue for export markets.
The 4.17 rating from 18 community votes confirms consistent collector interest, though the gap between Mint (21.84 USD) and VG (10.34 USD) means buyers must accept either premium pricing or visible wear.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Elektra catalogue number 42 106 on the front cover and spine, paired with the butterfly label motif and "Made in France" text printed on both sides of the vinyl itself. The dead-wax runout will read either MPO WEA 42106 A (side one) or MPO WEA 42106 B (side two), identifying the MPO pressing plant in France.
The absence of a barcode distinguishes this from later reissues; the inclusion of a black and white photo insert with printed lyrics is standard for this edition. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or discoloration; the Elektra butterfly design should remain crisp and unfaded.
Play-test to rule out warping or groove wear, as the price spread from 21.84 USD (Mint) to 10.34 USD (VG) reflects how quickly condition erosion reduces value on this title.

Frequently asked
How do I verify this is the MPO French pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the dead-wax runout grooves with a light: you must see either MPO WEA 42106 A or MPO WEA 42106 B stamped into the vinyl. Confirm "Made in France" is printed directly on the record label itself, not just the sleeve. The Elektra butterfly label design and the absence of a barcode on the cover are additional markers of this original French domestic pressing.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to Mint?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 14.94 USD, while a Mint example reaches 21.84 USD. This 7 USD spread reflects the sensitivity of the market to surface condition; even light play-wear drops value significantly on this title. The current lowest asking price of 7 USD suggests some sellers are pricing aggressively below VG grade.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG?
Mint (21.84 USD) to VG (10.34 USD) represents the steepest drop in the grade scale for this pressing. The 12-track chanson format and the delicate nature of the butterfly label design mean collectors prioritize pristine copies; any visible label wear or vinyl surface marks trigger rapid devaluation. The 11 copies currently for sale suggest limited inventory, so buyers competing for the best examples drive Mint prices upward.
How many copies are on the market right now, and is this pressing rare?
There are 11 copies currently listed for sale, with the lowest priced at 7 USD. The community database shows 146 collectors own this pressing against 30 actively seeking it, indicating moderate availability but steady collector interest. This is not a scarce title, but the condition-dependent pricing means finding a well-preserved copy requires patience or premium spending.
Does this pressing include any extras, and should I expect them?
Yes, this MPO French pressing includes a black and white photo insert with printed lyrics. This insert is a standard feature of this edition and should be present; its absence or damage will further reduce value below the VG price of 10.34 USD. Verify the insert is included and legible before purchase, as it is part of the original package.
