15 vinyl pressings of Latin Fever are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1964 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, Argentina, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Atlantic SD 1422, released May 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 1422, 1422, SAL 931370, SMJ-7202) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-A-64561 and ST-A-64562. 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.
