14 vinyl pressings of Bollicine are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1983 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Italy, Germany, Switzerland. One of them is Carosello CLN 25101, released April 14, 1983.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLN 25101, CLNP 25101, 1C 064 1652231, L 0002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, x CLN 25101 A _△ SPIRIDIONI - and x CLN 25101 B SPIRIDIONI -. 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.
