41 vinyl pressings of New Sound Tangos are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1968 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in France, Israel, Italy, Spain and more. One of them is La Voix De Son Maître SHTX 340.779.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SHTX 340.779, CSDQ 8181, LCLP 1.465, SURL 20563) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M6 261509 2YLA 1650 2I and M6 261510 2YLA 1651 2I. 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.
