12 vinyl pressings of All I'm Missing Is You are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Europe, UK, US, France and more. One of them is Metronome 878 245-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 878 245-1, 878 244-7, MED1, LONX 275) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 008 DMP 1729 A-1/80-8782451 and 008 DMP 1729 B-1/80-8782451. 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.
