63 vinyl pressings of Save Your Kisses For Me are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1976 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Pye Records 7N 45569.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7N 45569, 7N.45569, PYE 71066, AP-1892) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7N 45569 A-1-△G and 7N 45569 B-1-△G. 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.
