When was Endless Love first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1981, in US, UK, South Korea, Argentina and more. One of them is Mercury SRM-1-2001.

How do I tell if my copy of Endless Love is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRM-1-2001, STAR 5215, 6337 182, 6337182) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRM-1-2001-AS-REV-PW (PR)P and SRM-1-2001-BS-REV-PW (PR)P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Endless Love on vinyl worth?

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.
