10 vinyl pressings of Lost In Your Love are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1978 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, Austria, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Scotti Bros. Records DK 4705.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DK 4705, DSKO 132, 100 019 100, SB 405) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1-1 ST-DK-36033-1 and 1-1 ST-DK-36040-1. 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.
