41 vinyl pressings of Mamma / Se Vuoi Goder La Vita are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1941 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1941, in Italy. One of them is La Voce Del Padrone DA 5397, released January 1941.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DA 5397) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OBA.4186 II □ and OBA.4187 II □. 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.
