11 vinyl pressings of Lady (Put The Light On Me) are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Private Stock PSR 45,149.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PSR 45,149, PS 45,149, PVT 107, PSR 45149X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, (PVT 1347) and (PVT 1348). 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.
