12 vinyl pressings of Over The Edge are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, Japan, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Enigma D1-73320.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use D1-73320, ALI-28105, LIB 5166, ENVLP 511) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, D1-1-73320-Z1-RE1 [Allied 'ɑ' logo] B-30406-Z1 RE TML-M △19667 1-1 and D1-2-73320-Z1-RE1 [Allied 'ɑ' logo] B-30407-Z1 RE1 TML-M △19667-X 1-1. 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.
