17 vinyl pressings of You've Said Enough are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1982 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Ireland, Italy and more. One of them is Mercury MX-1-508.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MX-1-508, 6400 728, 76192, 76192 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MX1 508 AS C1 PRC-1 1-1 COMPTON and MX 1 508 BS C1 1-1 PRC C. 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.
