14 vinyl pressings of Due are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Italy, Yugoslavia, Austria, Belgium and more. One of them is Ricordi SRL 10760.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRL 10760, S 53 902, R 35.013, INS 7528) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SLNS 6213 28/4/75 CA and SLNS 6214 28/4/75 CA. 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.
