Vinyl pressings
by Amii Stewart · 1979
Jealousy was first pressed on vinyl in 1979. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
31 pressings came out in 1979, the album's first year, in 17 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

39 vinyl pressings of Jealousy are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1979 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Germany, UK, US, Italy and more. One of them is Hansa International 600 124, released September 1979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 600 124, 101 024, K 11386 (T), K 11386) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 600124 A-2/79S Made in Germany and 600124 B-2/79S Made in Germany. 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.
