15 vinyl pressings of Never Gonna Leave You are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1976 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Canada, Jamaica and more. One of them is Brunswick BL754207.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BL754207, BL 754207, BRLS 3022, ZLB-2024) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BMG 5079 TM/JR/TV and P BMG 5080 TM/JR/TV. 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.
