12 vinyl pressings of I Would Like To See You Again are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, Canada, Australia, Europe and more. One of them is Columbia KC 35313, released April 10, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 35313, KC36313, SBP 237163, CBS 82676) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, B13 PAL-35313-1B RFS/ML and A4 PBL-35313-1D RFS/ML. 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.
