10 vinyl pressings of Luigi Tenco are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1972 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Italy. One of them is RCA International INTI 1502, released April 1972.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use INTI 1502) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BKAY 26510 1S 1A 1 and BKAY 26511 1S 1A 1. 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.
