25 vinyl pressings of Echoes Of Italy are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1969 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Decca PFS 4174.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PFS 4174, SP 44132, LLN 7190-S, PFSM 34174) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 STELPD-014231-1L J7 and 1 STELPD-014232-2L. 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.
