11 vinyl pressings of Kathy's Song (Come Lie Next To Me) are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 2000 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2000, in Germany. One of them is Aqualoop Records AQL 012, released December 2000.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AQL 012, AQL 012-R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AQL 012 A SST 45 UPM and AQL 012 B SST 45 UPM. 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.
