20 vinyl pressings of Deseo Carnal are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1984 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Spain, Portugal, Venezuela. One of them is Hispavox (60) 160 252.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use (60) 160 252, HIS 1-30-50, 6127) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 160.252·A·IN³ and 160.252·B·IN³. 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.
