21 vinyl pressings of Don't Wanna Lose You are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Epic 655054 7, released June 26, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 655054 7, 655054 6, 655054 8, 655054 0) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01 655054 00 1A1 A and 01 655054 00 1B1 A. 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.
