32 vinyl pressings of Roberto Carlos are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1973 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Brazil, Angola, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is CBS 137835, released October 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 137835, ALP 1002, 19328, SVL 374) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSB-1259 and XSB-1260. 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.
