13 vinyl pressings of Cojale El Gusto A Cuba are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1959 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Cuba. One of them is RCA Victor LPD 502.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPD 502) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ICD-259-A MLP-502 and ICD-259-B MLP-502. 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.
