15 vinyl pressings of I Touch Myself are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Australia. One of them is Virgin VOZ 094.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VOZ 094) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MX307089 VOZ094 NR 1 and MX307090 VOZ094 2. 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.
