15 vinyl pressings of 29ª Raccolta are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1979 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Italy, Barbados, Greece, Mexico and more. One of them is Durium Ms AI 77406.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Ms AI 77406, EDI 60564, 6412 905, STAT-096) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, D ST 051717 19-XI-79 and D ST 051718 19-XI-79. 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.
