32 vinyl pressings of When In Spain... are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1963 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in UK, Argentina, Australia, Colombia and more. One of them is Columbia SCX 3488.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCX 3488, 33SX 1541, LDS 2110, 33OSX 1541) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX 1045-1 M and YAX 1046-1 H. 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.
