About Latin & World Pressing Identification
Latin and world music vinyl is one of the most explosively appreciating collector categories. Original Fania salsa pressings, Brazilian tropicália and bossa nova on Odeon and Elenco, Nigerian Afrobeat on Decca Africa, and Japanese city pop on Yen and Moon Records have seen dramatic price increases as global audiences discover these genres through streaming and then seek out original vinyl. Our scanner identifies country-specific label variants that determine value.

How Identification Works
Upload a photo of the record label showing all text including the pressing country information. For world music, the country of pressing is often the most critical value determinant — a Brazilian original can be worth 10x a later Argentine pressing of the same album.
