18 vinyl pressings of Guadalajara are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1963 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Mexico, New Zealand. One of them is CBS DCS 281, released February 1963.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DCS 281, DCA 281, DCS-281, BP-473059) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01-06-1525-1D and .01-06-1526-1F. 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.
