12 vinyl pressings of Changes (Messin' With My Mind) are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Germany, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is United Artists Records UA 35 789 A.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UA 35 789 A, UA-XW587-X, UP 35.789, UA 35 789) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 35789 A2/S1B Made in Germany and 35789 B2/S1B Made in Germany. 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.
