14 vinyl pressings of Loving You are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Australasia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Debut Edge Records DEBTX 3097.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEBTX 3097, DEBTXR 3097, DEBT 3097, POST 598) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DEBT (X) 3097 A ADRENALIN and DEBT (X) 3097 B ADRENALIN. 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.
