11 vinyl pressings of Bonafide are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is 10 Records DIX 92, released May 25, 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DIX 92, 1-91384, 210 797, 066 427112 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DIX 92 A-1U-1-2 TOWNHOUSE DMM D and DIX 92 B-1U-1-7 TOWNHOUSE DMM D. 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.
