21 vinyl pressings of Who Will You Run To are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK, US, Australia, Guatemala and more. One of them is Capitol Records CL 457, released September 1987.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 457, 12CL 457, CLP 457, 12 CL 457) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
