95 vinyl pressings of Bella Donna are listed here, from 33 countries, released between 1981 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in US, UK, Australia, Argentina and more. One of them is Modern Records MR 38-139, released July 27, 1981.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MR 38-139, K 99169, 99 169, SLIN 3178) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-MR-814731-A + SLM + 0-1SM1-1 △769 SP Precision Lacquer SM. and ST-MR-814732-A Precision Lacquer SM. + SLM + △769-X 0-1SM1-1 SP. 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.
