Questions

How many vinyl pressings of In Italy are there?

When was In Italy first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US. One of them is Riverside Records 9443.

How do I tell if my copy of In Italy is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9443, 443, RS-9443) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is In 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.
