20 vinyl pressings of Love Will Keep Us Together are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia KC 33884.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 33884, CQ 33884, S81021, SBP 234747) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IS PAL 33884-2A o A8 and IS PBL 33884 1-B o A10. 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.
