13 vinyl pressings of Close To You are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in US, Italy, France, Germany and more. One of them is Curb Edel Records YNR-77077.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use YNR-77077, DMX 10186, 190 659-1, CON 4085-0) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YNR 77077-A S-30262 and YNR 77077 -B S-30263. 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.
