35 vinyl pressings of Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1974 and 1999.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is 20th Century Records TC-2120.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TC-2120, 7N 25661, 4.057, K-5598) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 M 2120-AS-2 and T111 T M2120 BS-2. 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.
