18 vinyl pressings of Manuel Goodbye are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1983 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Europe, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Ariola 105 292.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 105 292, 600 853-213, K-9110, 600 853) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 105292 A-1/83S I and 105292 B-1/83S 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.
