23 vinyl pressings of El Sombrero De Tres Picos - Ballet are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1964 and 1994.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, Australia. One of them is His Master's Voice ALP 2059, released November 6, 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ALP 2059, ASD 608, S 36235, 36235) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
