The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, Germany, Greece, New Zealand and more. One of them is RCA Victor 47-8115.
How do I tell if my copy of Love is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-8115, 47g 912, 60334) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NO7W 6002 4S H and N7OW 5114-4S H. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Love on vinyl worth?
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.
