16 vinyl pressings of Ready For Love are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1987 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Italy, France, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Many Records MN 576.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MN 576, 722 910, 721910, ZYX 5672) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MN 576 A and MN 576 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.
