19 vinyl pressings of Make That Feeling Come Again! are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Marlin Marlin 2218.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Marlin 2218, MARLIN 2218, MAR 2218, S TKR 82548) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MARLIN 2218 A AM S STERLING and S MARLIN 2218 B AM STERLING. 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.
