20 vinyl pressings of Sabato Pomeriggio are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1975 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Italy, France, Spain, Turkey and more. One of them is RCA TPL1-1161, released July 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TPL1-1161, TPL1 1161, TPL 1-1161, LPVS 1586) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EKAY 28592 1S 1B 3 E 12 ∆O and EKAY 28593 2S 1A 5 E ∆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.
