13 vinyl pressings of Video Life / Gone Gone Gone are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Austria, Brazil, France, Germany and more. One of them is GiG Records GIG 111 106.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GIG 111 106, 111 106, 103 288, 2C008-64.615) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 111106 A and TN 720 111106 B L A S. 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.
