13 vinyl pressings of Julio are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1983 and 1993.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and more. One of them is Columbia FC 38640.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FC 38640, 50333, AAP 86, 28・3P-446) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 38640 and BL 38640. 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.
