LP (Mexico, front)LP (Mexico, back) LP (Mexico, 1975, front)LP (Mexico, 1975, back) L
Volume I:  Vanguard/Gamma  CV-227  (Mexico, 19??)
Single LP consists of Sides 1 & 4 of US LP
Volume II:  Vanguard/Clave  CCL-186  (Mexico, 1975)
Single LP consists of Sides 2 & 3 of US LP
Vanguard GXG 29-30
(Japan, 1978)
The white LP has both Gamma and 60s-era Vanguard logos on the sleeve, the records have Vanguard labels.
The yellow LP has Clave and 70s-era Vanguard logos, the records have Clave labels, with the note Hecho en Mexico por Gamma S.A.
The different labels, numbering systems and Vanguard logos suggest that these two Mexican LPs are probably a mis-matched pair, with the “white” cover LP being an original 1968 issue (although no year is given,)  and the yellow cover being a 1975 reissue.
Logically, matching LPs probably exist.  All song titles in English only on sleeves & labels.
Volume I:  Vanguard  VALP 11869  (Brazil, 1977-?)
Volume II:  Vanguard  VALP 11870  (Brazil, 1977-?)
Brazil reissue as 2 separate volumes with blue sleeves,  probably 1977
