10 vinyl pressings of Between Heaven And Hell are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1977 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, Japan. One of them is Brain 0060.055.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0060.055, 60.055, UXP-733-EB) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 60 055 A 0701 716 = 3 S 1 320 1 21 and 0701 716 S2 320 1B 0. 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.
