37 vinyl pressings of Un Canto A Galicia are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1971 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Spain, Mexico. One of them is Columbia MO 1167.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MO 1167, 123) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 850 QR 1655M=1J COL and 850 QR 1656M=1J COL. 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.
