12 vinyl pressings of I Never Felt More Like Falling In Love are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1957 and 1958.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, Canada, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is Columbia 4-41032.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4-41032, KS-200, 322 170 BF, 322170) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZSP42429-1H and ZSP42430-1H. 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.
