Vinyl pressings

6 pressings came out in 1974, the album's first year, in 5 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

22 vinyl pressings of 19ª Raccolta are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1974 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Italy, Canada, Israel, Jamaica and more. One of them is Durium ms AI 77355.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ms AI 77355, DU 719, MS AI 77355, ms 77355) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, D ST 051283 11 - 11 - 74 and D ST 051284 11 - 11 - 74. 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.
