13 vinyl pressings of Amalia Rodrigues are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1955 and 1957.
The earliest pressings are from 1955, in France, US. One of them is Columbia FS 1046.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FS 1046, ANG 64013) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XL 260 21 M3 161138 and XL 261 21 M3 161139. 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.
