12 pressings came out in 2000, the album's first year, in 4 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

12 vinyl pressings of Crazy Love are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2000, in UK, US, Germany, France. One of them is Talkin' Loud TKDJ 73/74.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TKDJ 73/74, TLXX 59, TLX 59, 572 736-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TKDJ 73/74 A¹ FSV John D A1 and TKDJ 73/74 B¹ FSV B1. 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.
