25 vinyl pressings of Ritmo De La Noche are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1990 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Germany, France, Netherlands and more. One of them is Fanfare Records 12 FAN 25.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 FAN 25, 12FAN-25, FAN 25, INT 110.901) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12FAN-25• A1 ✱ MAX. and 12FAN-25• AA ✱ MAX.. 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.
