14 vinyl pressings of Grande are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1987 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Spain, US, Argentina, Bolivia and more. One of them is Hispavox 590 40 2128 1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 590 40 2128 1, 6594-1-RL, 58644, 1-HXL-25) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 590-4021281-A·1N³ DM and 590·4021281-B-1N³ DM. 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.
