55 vinyl pressings of Let's Stick Together are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1976 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is Island Records ILPS 9367, released September 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9367, SD 18187, ILS 80725, L 36046) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, I-17 ILPS 9367 A4 E G BLAIR'S and I-24 ILPS 9367 B4 E G BLAIR'S. 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.
