14 vinyl pressings of Bello E Impossibile are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1986 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Italy, France, Germany, Japan and more. One of them is Ricordi SRLM 2066.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRLM 2066, SRL 11047, 885 211-7, 885 178-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 885211-15-A and 885211-15-B. 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.
