16 vinyl pressings of Il Primo Bacio Che Darò are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1964 and 1965.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Italy, UK, US, Denmark and more. One of them is CGD N 9499.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use N 9499, JBN 9499, F.21950, 45-CGD 10907V) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C / 9499 - 1N. D. 2-4-64 and C / 9499_ 2N. D. 2-4-64. 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.
