31 vinyl pressings of With Luv' are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1978 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Netherlands, Austria, Canada, France and more. One of them is Philips 6423 105.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6423 105, 6423 115, SRM-1-3788, 2934 105) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6423 105 1Y 1 670 1 2 8 03 and AA 6423 105 2Y 1 670 111 2 03. 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.
