16 vinyl pressings of You Make Loving Fun / Gold Dust Woman are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1977 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, Australia, Canada, Netherlands and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records WBS 8483.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WBS 8483, WBS 8484, WB 17062, R21-256) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P.R.C. UCA-6580-S PRC1 FS-1-111 MASTERED BY CAPITOL and P.R.C. UCA-6583-S PRC1 -X4 11-111 MASTERED BY CAPITOL. 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.
