25 vinyl pressings of How Much, How Much I Love You are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1978 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, Brazil, Canada, France and more. One of them is Casablanca NBLP 7091, released April 10, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP 7091, NBLP 7091 DJ, KTF 5004, IBIS-7091) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 NBLP-7091-AS 5T and T1 NBLP-7091-BS 5T. 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.
