Vinyl pressings
by Julio Iglesias · 1982
Momentos 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.
36 pressings came out in 1982, the album's first year, in 23 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.

44 vinyl pressings of Momentos are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1982 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Europe, US, Venezuela, Argentina and more. One of them is CBS CX 25002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CX 25002, CBS 25113, CX 25113, DIL-50329) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NL CX- 01-25002-2A-1 B and NL 01-25002-1B-1 C. 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.
