12 vinyl pressings of When Love Comes Calling are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is ARC JC 35568.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 35568, 83202, SBP 237248, CBS 83202) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p PAL 35568-2D B and p PBL 35568-1D B. 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.
