by Roger Daltrey · 1980
Without Your Love was first pressed on vinyl in 1980. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
21 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 11 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.

23 vinyl pressings of Without Your Love are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Belgium, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Polydor 2001 995.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2001 995, POSP 181, PD 2121, McVIC 3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
