When was Mariposa De Oro first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Japan, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia JC 35285.
How do I tell if my copy of Mariposa De Oro is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 35285, S CBS 82625, 25AP 1064, PC 35285) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL-35285-1F and TML-S D P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Mariposa De Oro on vinyl worth?
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.
