Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Italy are there?
16 vinyl pressings of Italy are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1962 and 1971.
When was Italy first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in UK, US, Canada, Chile and more. One of them is Decca PFS 4015.
How do I tell if my copy of Italy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PFS 4015, SP 44014, ARL 5333, LPR 54028) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-5332-4W and ZAL-5333-4W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Italy on vinyl worth?
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.
