Vinyl pressings
by Ismael Miranda · 1982
Exitos De Los 50 was first pressed on vinyl in 1982. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
7 pressings came out in 1982, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.
Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.
By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

12 vinyl pressings of Exitos De Los 50 are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1982 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, Colombia, Costa Rica, France and more. One of them is Fania Records JM-612.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JM-612, SLP 612, 1005101, FANIA 36) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
