21 vinyl pressings of 25ª Raccolta are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1977 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Italy, Canada, France, Greece and more. One of them is Durium ms AI 77390.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ms AI 77390, 77390, DU 725, DUR 77.000) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DST 051527 30-11-77 and DST 051528 30-11-77. 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.
