29 vinyl pressings of Walking Down Your Street are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1986 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Europe, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is CBS CBS 650280 6.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 650280 6, CBS 650280 7, BANGS T1, BANGS G1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01-650280-1A-1 A and 01-650280-1B-1 A. 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.
