Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Love Over Gold are there?

185 vinyl pressings of Love Over Gold are listed here, from 39 countries, released between 1982 and 2026.

When was Love Over Gold first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, US, France, Australasia and more. One of them is Vertigo 6359 109.

How do I tell if my copy of Love Over Gold is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6359 109, 1-23728, 9 23728-1, VOG-1-3317) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 63 5 91 09 A // 3 ▽ 1 3 0 6359109 - A MASTERDISK RL and 63 5 91 09 B // 2 ▽ 1 3 0 7 2 6359109 - B-UK MASTERDISK HW. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Love Over Gold 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.
