10 vinyl pressings of Ti Avrò are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1978 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Italy, US, Austria, France and more. One of them is Clan Celentano CLN 20053.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLN 20053, PLD 4220, 26 179 XOT, 913 216) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 16 CLN 20053-1L [cgd logo] 2·5·78 and 16 CLN 20053-2L [cgd logo] 2·5·78. 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.
