15 vinyl pressings of He's My Man are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Motown M 1358F, released June 12, 1975.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M 1358F, TMG 950, 1C 006-96 777, TSM NP 64227) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M1358F-63231-12B 1-S-03B #14 H̶ and M1358F-63114-24A 2-S-03B #14 H̶. 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.
