10 vinyl pressings of Guilty are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, Germany, Italy. One of them is 10 Records TEN 258, released May 15, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TEN 258, TENX 258, TENX 283, TENR 258) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TEN 258 A-1U-1-1 TY1 and TEN 258 B-1U-1-1 TY1. 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.
