11 vinyl pressings of Milva are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1977 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Italy, Austria, Belgium, Germany and more. One of them is Ricordi SMRL 6207.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMRL 6207, 0060.081, ELA 8012, HRIS 631-08) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S_6207_1 AF 9/6/77 and S_6207_2 AF 9/6/77. 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.
