14 vinyl pressings of Just A Touch Of Love are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, US, Australia, Europe and more. One of them is Columbia 657524 8, released November 11, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 657524 8, 657524 7, 657524 6, 44 74032) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 31 657524 20 1A1 and 31 657524 20 1B1. 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.
