116 vinyl pressings of Say It With Music (A Touch Of Latin) are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1960 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia CL 1490, released September 1960.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 1490, CS 8282, SBBL 579, BBL 7398) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, x"Lp" 50170 and x"Lp" 50170. 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.
