13 vinyl pressings of Romanzas De Zarzuela are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1966 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is RCA Victor SB 6699.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SB 6699, LSC 2894, LM-2894, 640.830) 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.
