10 vinyl pressings of Malafemmina are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1988 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Italy, Europe, Greece, Hungary and more. One of them is Ricordi TGN 10.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TGN 10, 837 339-1, 837 097-1, 837097-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TGN 10 A TP and TGN 10 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.
