How many vinyl pressings of Miracles are there?

When was Miracles first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Italy, UK, US, Mexico and more. One of them is Goody Music Records GOM 30018.
How do I tell if my copy of Miracles is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GOM 30018, K 99140, SD 19301, MS-2211) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 94 GOM 30018-1L and 94 GOM 30018-2L. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Miracles on vinyl worth?
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.
