22 vinyl pressings of Quando, Quando, Quando are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1962 and 1998.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in Italy, UK, Sweden, Denmark and more. One of them is La Voce Del Padrone 7 MQ 1689, released February 1962.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7 MQ 1689, 7MQ 1689, 45-POP 1036, POP 1036) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XBA·10880·Ⅱ · 31·1·962 and 7XBA·10881·Ⅱ · 31·1·962. 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.
