11 vinyl pressings of In And Out Of Love are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Canada, UK, US, Japan. One of them is Mercury MSX 76237.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MSX 76237, VERP 19, VERX 19, VER 19) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MSX-76237 A-2 SNB 230 and MSX-76237B SNB 230. 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.
