15 vinyl pressings of Manzanero "El Grande" Volumen II are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1967 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Mexico, US, Colombia, North America (inc Mexico) and more. One of them is RCA Victor MKS-1769.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MKS-1769, MKS 1769, LPC 52-839, MKL 1769) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MKS-1769-A 2 and MKS-1769-B 2. 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.
