14 vinyl pressings of When The Feeling Comes Around are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1979 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Arista AS 0497.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AS 0497, AS0497, ARIST 342, 102 077) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AS 0497-SA and AS 0497-SB. 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.
