13 vinyl pressings of Feuer Und Flamme are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1985 and 2015.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Peru and more. One of them is CBS CBS 26 546.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 26 546, 28-3P-632, CBSCL 32 324-6, S.E. 3379) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12-26546-3 A-1 A D and 12-26546-1B-1 Di A. 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.
