97 vinyl pressings of C'Era Una Volta Il West are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1969 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Italy, France, Spain. One of them is RCA Original Cast OLS 3.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OLS 3, 440.751, LSP 10407) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UKAY 24605 3S and UKAY 24605 6S. 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.
