28 vinyl pressings of Who Feels It Knows It are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1980 and 2015.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Jamaica, UK, France, Germany and more. One of them is Tuff Gong.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TLP 001, 201871, 67.549, 67549) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TG - 1783 - A and TG - 1783 - B. 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.
