11 vinyl pressings of Un Buco Nella Sabbia are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1964 and 1973.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Italy, Germany, Brazil. One of them is Rifi RFN NP 16061, released May 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RFN NP 16061, RFN-NP 16061, 52 924, FB 3384) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RR 819/72 BIS and RR 819/73 BIS. 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.
