15 vinyl pressings of Welcome To Rimini are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1984 and 1998.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Italy, France, South Africa, Spain. One of them is Best Record BEST 12033.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BEST 12033, 880 487-1, 880 487-7, 13703) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SPIRY- BEST 12033 A and SPIRY- BEST 12033 A. 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.
