22 vinyl pressings of Questo Piccolo Grande Amore are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1972 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Italy. One of them is RCA DPSL 10551, released November 1972.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DPSL 10551, PSL 10551) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BKAY 26764 3 1A 6 P ▲ and BKAY 26765 3S 1A 6 P ▲. 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.
