About this record
Pressed at RCA S.p.A.'s Rome factory on 23 February 1982, this Italian stereo LP carries matrix codes LKAY 36447 and LKAY 36448 stamped by Piero in the dead wax—a hallmark of the RCA Italiana pressing run. The 1407 collectors who own a copy vastly outnumber the 52 seeking one, a ratio that reflects steady but modest collector interest in Cocciante's 1982 pop-chanson work.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this Italian pressing. A Mint copy commands 44.41 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 39.74 USD—a modest 4.67 USD spread that tightens further down the grading scale.
VG+ sits at 30.39 USD and VG at 21.04 USD. With 104 copies listed for sale and a floor price of 1.4 USD, supply is plentiful; the median collector holds rather than trades.
The original RCA Italiana issue from Italy in 1982 has no reissue variant in the dataset, so rarity is not a driver. The eight-track album's value hinges almost entirely on whether the vinyl surfaces remain unmarked and the sleeve intact—typical for 1980s Italian pop pressings where condition variance is steep and original inner sleeves with printed lyrics are expected.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Italiana catalogue number PL 31623 on the front cover and spine. The runout etchings in the dead wax are the definitive identifier: look for LKAY 36447 or LKAY 36448 followed by 2S 1C, 2S 1A, or 2S 1B, the Piero plant mark, and the pressing date 23-2-82.
The label should read RCA Italiana and credit RCA Records Factory, Italy as the manufacturer. The album lacks a barcode.
Grade by inspecting the vinyl for hairline scratches and scuffs under light; even light surface marks drop a Mint copy to NM. Check the printed inner sleeve with lyrics for creasing, foxing, or water damage—original sleeves are expected on this release.
The Campi Grafica credit on the back cover distinguishes this pressing from other variants.

Frequently asked
What is the price range for this record in different conditions?
Mint copies are valued at 44.41 USD, while Near Mint drops to 39.74 USD. VG+ copies are estimated at 30.39 USD, VG at 21.04 USD, and Good+ at 11.69 USD. These are price-guide estimates and reflect the condition-dependent market for this Italian pressing.
How do I identify the correct RCA Italiana pressing from 1982?
Look for the matrix codes LKAY 36447 or LKAY 36448 in the dead wax, followed by 2S 1C, 2S 1A, or 2S 1B and the date 23-2-82. The Piero plant mark confirms it was pressed at RCA S.p.A. in Rome. The catalogue number is PL 31623 on both sides.
Is this a reissue or an original pressing?
This is the original 1982 release on RCA Italiana, manufactured by RCA S.p.A. in Rome. No later reissue variant is documented in the available data, making this the sole vinyl edition of Cocciante.
Why is there such a large price drop from Mint to Good condition?
A Mint copy is worth 44.41 USD while a Good copy is valued at 7.01 USD—a steep decline because Italian pop pressings from this era are common and condition-sensitive. Collectors accept only unmarked vinyl or near-unmarked vinyl; once surface noise and visible wear appear, demand shrinks sharply.
How many copies are currently for sale, and what is the lowest asking price?
104 copies are listed for sale across the market. The lowest asking price is 1.4 USD, though this represents a heavily damaged or unplayable copy. Most sales occur in the VG to VG+ range, where the record balances playability and affordability.
