20 vinyl pressings of Love Is In The Air are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 2001 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 2001, in Germany, UK, US, Belgium and more. One of them is Milk & Sugar Recordings MSR 038, released August 15, 2001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MSR 038, KOS 2030, MSR 038 PROMO, 12ONEOFF12) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MSR-M041-1 A SST 45 UPM and MSR-M041-1 B SST 45 UPM. 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.
