41 vinyl pressings of I'll Never Love This Way Again are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1979 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Australia, Barbados and more. One of them is Arista AS 0419.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AS 0419, ARIST 276, AR-11986, 4C 006-62904) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p ASO-419-SA P2 AZ ❀ and p ASO-419-SB CP_2 AZ. 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.
