43 vinyl pressings of Gone Troppo are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1982 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, US, Germany, France and more. One of them is Dark Horse Records 923734-1, released November 5, 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 923734-1, 9 23734-1, 1-23734, 23734-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W-9 1-23734-1- UK- SET1-RE2 923734-1 A1 and W-7 1-23734-2- UK- SET1-RE2 923734-1 B1. 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.
