11 vinyl pressings of Turn It Loud are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Canada, US, Europe, France and more. One of them is Solid Gold Records SGR-1010.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SGR-1010, SD 38-151, ATC K 50 897, ATC 50 897) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SGR 1010-A2 (EDP) S̶T̶C̶-̶8̶2̶4̶9̶3̶7̶-̶S̶G̶l̶ MASTERDISK RL CR and SGR 1010 B S̶T̶C̶-̶8̶2̶4̶9̶3̶̶̶8̶-̶̶̶S̶̶̶G̶̶̶ MASTERDISK RL (CR). 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.
