Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Paloma Blanca are there?

When was Paloma Blanca first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Netherlands, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Negram NR 106.

How do I tell if my copy of Paloma Blanca is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NR 106, K 56136, BS 2905, RS 4007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NR 106 A//HM24755-2-Y and NR 106 B//HM24756-2-Y. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Paloma Blanca 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.
