36 vinyl pressings of Still Loving You are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1984 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Germany, US, UK, Japan and more. One of them is Harvest 1C K 062 20 0330 6.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1C K 062 20 0330 6, 1C 016 20 0329 7, 2001867, 880 082-7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2003306-A4+C and 2003306-B3+C. 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.
