15 vinyl pressings of The Little Girl In Me / Suspicious Minds are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1978 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Canada, Germany, Italy, Rhodesia and more. One of them is Salsoul Records SG-2705.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SG-2705, 15 862 AT, 6025 228, ARS 231) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TG SG-2705-H- and TX SG-2705-T-. 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.
