The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and more. One of them is Chiswick Records CWK 3002.
How do I tell if my copy of Fickle Heart is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CWK 3002, 0067.065, LP S 3621, VIK 1502) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CWK 3002 A-3U and CWK 3002 B-3U. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Fickle Heart on vinyl worth?
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.
