20 vinyl pressings of El Gallinero are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1993 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Italy, UK, US, Germany and more. One of them is DFC DFC 155.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DFC 155, DFC 155P, RAMZ T2, RAD 151) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFC 155-A Inzadi and DFC 155-AA Inzadi. 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.
