by New Kids On The Block · 1988
You Got It (The Right Stuff) was first pressed on vinyl in 1988. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
14 pressings came out in 1988, the album's first year, in 8 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

34 vinyl pressings of You Got It (The Right Stuff) are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1988 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, UK, Bolivia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia 44 08132.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 44 08132, 38-08092, CS7-01335, XPR 1424) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, F/w HERBIE Jr :v) XSS-08132-A C1 D G1 A1 and F/w HERBIE Jr :v) XSS-08132-B C1 D G1 A12. 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.
