12 vinyl pressings of 12 Exitos Para Dos Guitarras Flamencas are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1965 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Spain. One of them is Philips 843 120 PY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 843 120 PY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 843 120 1Y and 843 120 2Y. 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.
