19 vinyl pressings of Gonna Get You are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1983 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Beggars Banquet BEGA 48.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BEGA 48, SWRL-3302, POW 6063, 205 776) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BEGA-48-A1 MT.-1 ARUN DAMONT AC and BEGA-48-B1 MT. ARUN DAMONT AE. 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.
