13 vinyl pressings of La Bamba Volume 2 - More Music From The… are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Europe, UK, Argentina, Australasia and more. One of them is London Records 828 097-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 828 097-1, LONLP 56, 828097-1, 828 109-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 828 097 1 1Y 1 ℗ 1988 670 07 112 and 828 097 1 2Y 1 ℗ 1988 670 07 112. 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.
