17 vinyl pressings of Senza Una Donna (Without A Woman) are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, Europe, Argentina, Australasia and more. One of them is London Records LON 294, released March 18, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LON 294, LONX 294, 879 668-7, 00450) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LON 294 A-1U-1-Q 1 and LON 294 B-1U-1-Q1. 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.
