10 vinyl pressings of Il Secondo LP Di Bobby Solo are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Italy, Canada, Colombia, Netherlands and more. One of them is Ricordi MRL 6045.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MRL 6045, FL 330, LD 2208, 62563) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TLNI 3117 19•5•65 and TLNI 3118 19•5•65. 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.
