15 vinyl pressings of I Will Still Love You / Stay In Line are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Japan, Brazil and more. One of them is Parachute Records RR 512.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RR 512, RR 512 DJ, RRS 504, CM-175) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1-1 SRC RR-512-AS SP-1 Az CB 1 and 1-2 SRC RR-512-BS SP-1 Az CB 1. 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.
