10 vinyl pressings of Susie Q / When You Touch Me, I Love are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, Canada, France, Portugal and more. One of them is Sutra Records SUD 001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUD 001, SUA 102, BDA 623X, 101416) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUD 001 A and SUD 001 B. 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.
