The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Limelight LM 82044, released March 1967.

How do I tell if my copy of Soul Español is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM 82044, LS 86044, SLML 4027, LML 4027) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2/86044 A1 and 2/86044 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Soul Español on vinyl worth?

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.
