27 vinyl pressings of Signos are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1986 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and more. One of them is CBS 20818, released November 10, 1986.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 20818, 20.818, 231087, 142041) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ALS 8312 and ALS 8313. 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.
