40 vinyl pressings of Stop! In The Name Of Love are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1965 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Greece, Netherlands and more. One of them is Motown MT-1074, released February 8, 1965.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MT-1074, M 1074, MT 1074, M-1074) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S4KM-0710-1 Nashville Matrix 10 HLB-113303 and S4KM-0711-1 Nashville Matrix 10 HLB-113208 ARP. 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.
