24 vinyl pressings of To Lovers Everywhere are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1971 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, UK, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is London Records XPS 598.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XPS 598, SKL 5112, SKLA 5112, XPS.598) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T ZAL 10900 and T ZAL 10901-1. 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.
