12 vinyl pressings of Una Lacrima Sul Viso are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1978 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in France, Canada, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Disques Ibach 60712.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 60712, 60058, ABEX.1779, 1C 006-18 338) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 60712 [AGI logo] agi 784 60712A and 60712 B agi 784 60712B. 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.
