13 vinyl pressings of Who's Been Kissing You / Live My Life are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1981 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in UK, US, Bolivia. One of them is Kaleidoscope Records Limited KRLA 12 1105.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KRLA 12 1105, KRLA 1105, PRL D 613, PRL 8035) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, KRLA 12-1105-A2 and KRLA 12 1105 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.
