15 vinyl pressings of Che Colpa Abbiamo Noi are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1966 and 1998.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Greece and more. One of them is Arc AN 4081.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AN 4081, JB AN 4081, 31A-0914, LC-16150) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RKAW 23025 1S 1B 10 and RKAW 23026 2S 1B 9. 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.
