15 vinyl pressings of Little Latin Lupe Lu are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1966 and 1968.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is New Voice Records N V 808.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use N V 808, 808, SS 498, OSS-209) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Bell Sound 6668 B and Bell Sound 6669 B. 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.
