14 vinyl pressings of Love Makes The World Go Round are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, US, France, Germany and more. One of them is 4th & Broadway 12 BRW 242, released April 27, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 BRW 242, BRW 242, 12 BRWDJ 242, 422-864 161-1) 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.
