18 vinyl pressings of Casanova (Passion Hero) are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK. One of them is Production House PNT 008, released July 17, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PNT 008, PNT008R, PNT 008 R, PNT 008R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PNT 008-A and PNT 008-B. 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.
