19 vinyl pressings of The Tijuana Jail are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Canada, Denmark and more. One of them is Capitol Records F4167.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F4167, 45-CL 15002, 4167, F 4167) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45-22597 and 45-22604. 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.
