17 vinyl pressings of Sergio Mendes Presents Lobo are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1970 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Australia, El Salvador, New Zealand and more. One of them is A&M Records SP-3035.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP-3035, SP 3035, SAML-934,191, SAML-934191) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A&M SP 3069-M115679 and A&M SP 3070-M115679-X. 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.
