15 vinyl pressings of Love At First Sight are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 2002 and 2009.
The earliest pressings are from 2002, in UK, US, France, Italy and more. One of them is Parlophone 12r6577, released June 17, 2002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12r6577, Y 7243 8 77724 1 0, 12rdjy6577, 12rdj6577) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 5509866 1A1 and 5509866 1B1. 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.
