About this record
Demand outpaces supply on this 1979 Italian debut: 346 collectors want it against 308 who own one. Pressed for Lotus (catalogue LOP 12804) in November–December 1978, the dead-wax matrix stamps LOP 12804 1 15-2-79 and LOP 12804 2 15-2-79 confirm the February 1979 pressing date.
Only 4 copies currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 172.41 USD.
What drives its value
The price gradient on this Vasco Rossi debut reveals how scarcity and condition dominate the market. A Mint copy commands 351.61 USD, while a VG+ drops to 240.57 USD—a swing that reflects both the rarity of unplayed stock and the wear typical of 1979 Italian pressings.
The VG grade sits at 166.55 USD, and even a Poor copy retains 18.51 USD. With only 4 copies for sale and want exceeding have by 38 collectors, the 172.41 USD floor price suggests active bidding.
This is the original Lotus pressing, not a reissue; Italian rock from this era commands premium prices when original vinyl survives in playable condition.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the Lotus label imprint and catalogue number LOP 12804 on the label face. The title reads 'Non Siamo Mica Gli Americani' as printed on the label.
Check both sides of the dead wax for the matrix stamps: Side 1 should read LOP 12804 1 15-2-79, and Side 2 should read LOP 12804 2 15-2-79, confirming the 15 February 1979 pressing date. The release includes a printed inner sleeve.
No barcode appears on this pressing. The 9-track album was recorded November–December 1978.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for oxidation and groove wear; the price difference between M (351.61 USD) and NM (314.60 USD) is narrow, so distinguish between sealed/unplayed stock and opened but unplayed copies. Surface texture and label printing clarity are key markers of original 1979 Lotus stock versus later reprints.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
Lotus LOP 12804. Both sides of the dead wax carry the matrix LOP 12804 1 15-2-79 (Side 1) and LOP 12804 2 15-2-79 (Side 2), stamped during the February 1979 pressing run.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 240.57 USD. This estimate reflects the gap between unplayed (NM at 314.60 USD) and played but well-preserved (VG at 166.55 USD) examples.
Why is there such a wide spread between Mint and VG grades?
A Mint copy is priced at 351.61 USD while VG is 166.55 USD because original 1979 Italian pressings rarely survive unplayed. Sealed stock commands a premium; once opened and played, even lightly, the value drops sharply due to scarcity of truly pristine copies and collector demand for investment-grade originals.
How many copies are currently on the market?
Only 4 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 172.41 USD. Demand (346 want) significantly exceeds supply (308 have), indicating tight availability.
What does the community rating tell us?
The album holds a 4.56 rating from 39 community votes, suggesting strong collector regard for the music and pressing quality. This high rating, combined with want exceeding have by 38 collectors, reinforces the pressing's desirability among Vasco Rossi enthusiasts.
