20 vinyl pressings of Barry White's Sheet Music are listed here, from 15 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Unlimited Gold FZ 36208.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FZ 36208, AL 36208, S ULG 83927, 47.226) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 36208-1B C5 C̲Y̲B̲E̲R̲ KE S1 and PBL 36208 1K A3 S1. 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.
