16 vinyl pressings of Salud Mexico are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1961 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK, US, Australia, Japan and more. One of them is Parlophone PMC 1147.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PMC 1147, 4003, PCS 3017, PCSO 3017) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XEX 341-IN and XEX 342-IN. 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.
