11 vinyl pressings of Love On My Mind Tonight are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Germany, UK, US, France and more. One of them is Motown 100·15·082.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 100·15·082, TMG 1297, TMGT 1297, 1666GF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IP 100-15-0821A et and IP 100-15-0821B et. 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.
