37 vinyl pressings of Stuck With You are listed here, from 17 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, UK, Australia, Japan and more. One of them is Chrysalis VS4 43019.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VS4 43019, VAS 2390, HUEYX 5, HUEY 5) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P (p) VS4 43019 AS P3 A1 STERLING and P (p) VS4 43019 BS P1 STERLING. 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.
