11 vinyl pressings of Il Tempo Se Ne Va are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Italy, Austria, France, Germany and more. One of them is Clan Celentano CLN 10252.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLN 10252, YD 561, 101 500, 101483) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 16 CLN 10252-1N and 16 CLN 10252-2N. 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.
