22 vinyl pressings of Zucchero are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Italy, UK, Brazil, Europe and more. One of them is London Records 828 209-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 828 209-1, 849 063 1, 828 209 1, 828 209.1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 828209 1 1 520 and 828209 1 2 520. 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.
