35 vinyl pressings of Face To Face - Heart To Heart are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1982 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Europe, South Africa, Italy, Philippines and more. One of them is Hansa International 104 701-100, released October 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 104 701-100, 600 681, PRM 1021, IS 20278) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DS 104701 A-1/82S I and DS 104701 B-1/82S I. 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.
