28 vinyl pressings of Like Someone In Love are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1967 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, Canada, Japan. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4245, released August 1967.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4245, BST 84245) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VAN GELDER and BN 4245-A. 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.
