12 vinyl pressings of Cantes De Jose Menese are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1965 and 1966.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Spain. One of them is RCA Victor LSP 10 300.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP 10 300, LSP 10300, LPM 10 300, LSP-103000) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 850 5VPS 2050✳2 and 850 5VPS 2051✳2. 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.
