11 vinyl pressings of Love Over-Due are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK & Europe, US, Brazil, Argentina and more. One of them is Scotti Bros. Records 510 079-1, released July 8, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 510 079-1, 72392 75225-1, 29338, STARL 5830) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 510 079 1 S1=1 670 06 1 1 5 and 510 079 1 S2=1 670 06 1 1 7. 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.
