19 vinyl pressings of Fandangos In Space are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1973 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, Australia, Colombia, Germany and more. One of them is Regal Zonophone SRZA 8518.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRZA 8518, 11324, 1C 062-94 858) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRZA 8518 A-1 11 2 and SRZA 8518 B-1 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.
