11 vinyl pressings of High On Your Love are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, Australia, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA-3202.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA-3202, MCA 3202, 201 664, MCA 4068) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA 2055 W1 and MCA 2056 W1. 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.
