22 vinyl pressings of Als Het Om De Liefde Gaat are listed here, from 15 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Netherlands, UK, Argentina, Austria and more. One of them is Philips 6012 202.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6012 202, 6012 208, 12 085, 6012 203) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6012 202 1W 1 670 1 and AA 6012 202 2W 1 670 113. 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.
