10 vinyl pressings of El Carretero / Ramona are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1928 and 1929.
The earliest pressings are from 1928, in France. One of them is Odeon 188 014.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 188 014, 188. 014, 188.014) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Ki 1855^1 and Ki 1856^1. 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.
