12 vinyl pressings of Latino Americano 78 are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1978 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in France, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and more. One of them is Pathé 2 C 068-15532.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2 C 068-15532, BOLP-403, 31C 064 15532D, 11573) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M6 322 557 2 15 5 32 A 1 2286 SI A and M6 322 558 2 15 532 B 1 2286 SI B. 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.
