11 vinyl pressings of Un Mondo D'Amore are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1967 and 1998.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in Italy, France, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is RCA Italiana PM45 3390.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PM45 3390, JB PM45 3390, 49.510, 47-15019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RKAW 23468 2S 2A 6 and RKAW 23469 1S 1B 5. 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.
