11 vinyl pressings of Pachanga With Barretto are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1961 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, Colombia. One of them is Riverside Records RLP 7506, released June 2, 1961.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RLP 7506, RLP 97506, RLP 93531, XK 8007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RLP-7506A AB and RLP-7506B AB. 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.
