12 vinyl pressings of Love Can Move Mountains are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in US, UK, Europe, Mexico and more. One of them is Epic 49 74378, released October 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 49 74378, 658778 7, 658778 6, 34-74337) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSS 4̶7̶4̶0̶A̶-̶1̶A̶ ̶ 74378-A VLADO and XSS 4̶7̶4̶0̶B̶-̶1̶A̶ 74378-B / VLADO. 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.
