55 vinyl pressings of You're My Heart, You're My Soul are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1984 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Europe, Scandinavia, Mexico. One of them is Hansa 106 884, released September 1984.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 106 884, 601 496, 601 496-213, MRCS 2017) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 106884 A-3/84S I I II and DM 106884 B-3/84 S I I II. 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.
