12 vinyl pressings of Lambada are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, Canada, France, Greece and more. One of them is CBS 466055 1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 466055 1, PFC2-90819, CBS 465599 1, 465875-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 4660551 A1 D and 466055 1 B1 ⋀. 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.
