10 vinyl pressings of Se Mi Vuoi Lasciare are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in Italy, France, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is RCA Italiana PM45 - 3215.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PM45 - 3215, PM45 3215, 45.553, 47-9486) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OKAW 22037 5S 2B 7 and OKAW 22038 4S 1B 13. 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.
