Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PPR 009, PPR 008, P.P.R. 009, VCRT 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PPR 008 - SIDE A WEL COME and PPR 008 - SIDE AA SIAMO ANCORA NOI 1991 !!!. 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.
