Vinyl pressings
by Depeche Mode · 1981
Just Can't Get Enough was first pressed on vinyl in 1981. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
22 pressings came out in 1981, the album's first year, in 9 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

50 vinyl pressings of Just Can't Get Enough are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1981 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in UK, US, Germany, France and more. One of them is Mute 12 MUTE 016, released September 7, 1981.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 MUTE 016, 7 MUTE 016, MUTE 016 7, SRE50029) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 mUTE 016 A2 EG A PORKY PRIME CUT BETTER THAN A SLAP İN THE FACE WITH A WET FİSH and 12 mUTE 016 B1 POSH CLOBBER COULD CLINCHE İT . EG PORKY .. 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.
