13 vinyl pressings of Like An Eagle / New York By Night are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, Australia, Canada, France and more. One of them is Casablanca NBD 20153.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBD 20153, NBD 20153 DJ, TDS-043, ABT 21) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
