12 vinyl pressings of San Remo 69 are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Italy, US, Brazil, France and more. One of them is Ricordi SMRL 6061.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SMRL 6061, SMRP 9059, FLPS 1573, 83-8056) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LLNM 4285 23.1.69 and LLNM 4286 23.1.69. 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.
