15 vinyl pressings of Coming In For The Kill are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is EMI EMC 3565.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EMC 3565, C1-93005, EMC 793005, 066 793005 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EMC 3565 A-2-1-1 D and EMC 3565 B-2U-1-1 TOWN HOUSE DMM D. 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.
