10 vinyl pressings of I Need Your Love are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, Europe, France, Greece and more. One of them is FFRR FFRX 28.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FFRX 28, FFRXR 28, FFR 28, LONXDJ 225) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FFRX 28 A-1U-1-1 BAZZA AUDIO ONE and FFRX 28 B-1U-1-1. 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.
