Vinyl pressings
by Amii Stewart · 1980
My Guy/My Girl was first pressed on vinyl in 1980. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
19 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 16 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.

20 vinyl pressings of My Guy/My Girl are listed here, from 17 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Germany, UK, US, Austria and more. One of them is Hansa International 102 132, released June 1980.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 102 132, K 11550, WS7 5300, 49.659) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 102132 A-1/80S Made in Germany and 102132 B-1/80S 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.
