10 vinyl pressings of Elis Regina In London are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1969 and 2012.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, Colombia, Japan, Netherlands and more. One of them is Philips SBL 7905.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SBL 7905, 840279, SFX 7181, 840 279 BY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 840279 1Y // 1 420 11 2 and 840279 2Y // 1 420 11 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.
