19 vinyl pressings of La Forza Di Lasciarti / Lui are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Italy, Canada, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is RCA Italiana PM 45 3313.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PM 45 3313, PM45-3313, JBPM 45 3313, 57-3352) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, QKAW 22600 2S 11 and QKAW 22601 1S 18. 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.
