47 vinyl pressings of I'm On Fire are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1975 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Netherlands, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Philips 6006 464.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6006 464, 40801, 6006.464, EPC S 3359) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6006 464 1W1 ℗ 1975 670 112 03 and AA 6006 464 2W1 ℗ 1975 670 111 06. 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.
