13 vinyl pressings of Profondo Rosso are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1975 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Italy, US, Japan, Netherlands. One of them is Cinevox Record MDF 070.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MDF 070, JB 646, 7-SG52776, EOR-20474) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MDF 070A 19-5-75 and MDF 070B 2-7-75. 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.
