18 vinyl pressings of Love Like You And Me are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, Australia, Belgium, Denmark and more. One of them is Bell Records BELL 1423.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BELL 1423, BELL 10797, 4C006-96575, 5E 006-96575) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 BELL 1423 A-1U G P and 2 BELL 1423 B-1U O A. 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.
