11 vinyl pressings of Good Enough are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in US, UK, Europe, Philippines and more. One of them is MCA Records MCAS7-54517.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCAS7-54517, MCA12 54521, MCA8P 2483, MCA8P 2438) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MC 39286E FDS-2 and MC 39295E FDS-1. 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.
