12 vinyl pressings of Buona Domenica are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Spain. One of them is Philips 6025 242.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6025 242, 9198 564, 0030.224, 0930.008) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6025 242-1 A 6 XX 520 ARUN and 6025 242-2 B 6 520 LAURA. 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.
