Vinyl pressings
by The Time · 1984
Jungle Love was first pressed on vinyl in 1984. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
15 pressings came out in 1984, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

18 vinyl pressings of Jungle Love are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1984 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records 920 254-0, released October 1984.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 920 254-0, 929 144-7, SAM 207, 9 2944-7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 40 R/S Alsdorf 920254-0 A and 38 R/S Alsdorf 920254-0 B. 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.
