29 vinyl pressings of Heath Vs. Ros - Swing Vs. Latin are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1964 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is London Records SP 44038.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 44038, LK 4590, PFS 4033, SKLA 7580) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-6057-1E and ZAL-6058-1E. 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.
