17 vinyl pressings of Esto Fue Lo Que Trajo El Barco are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1972 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, Dominican Republic, Panama, Venezuela. One of them is Tico Records CLP 1305.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLP 1305, TCLP 1305) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TCLPS 13050A - 1 - A1F and TCLPS 13050A - 1 - A2G. 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.
