18 vinyl pressings of Sunny / Caballo are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, Canada, France, Italy and more. One of them is Montuno Gringo MG-8003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG-8003, 45-8003, MGDJ-8003, PB-50146) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S-5190 GOL 8̶ FWѼ 8003-A 9-2-75 and S-5191 GOL 8003-B FWѼ 9-2-75. 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.
