18 vinyl pressings of Là Su Per Le Montagne are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1960 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in Italy. One of them is RCA Italiana PML 10103.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PML 10103, PML-10103, LPM 10103) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LKAP 9232 3S 2A 1 and LKAP 9233 4S 2A 2. 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.
