16 vinyl pressings of Il Ragazzo Che Sorride are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in Italy, Australia, Brazil, Greece and more. One of them is La Voce Del Padrone SPSQ 064.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPSQ 064, SOXLP 7564, MOFB-416, CSDG 1010) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YBA 1062 and 2YBA 1063. 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.
