13 vinyl pressings of Put It There are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Italy, Australia, Europe and more. One of them is Parlophone 12R 6246, released January 5, 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12R 6246, R 6246, 12RS 6246, 06 2037457) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12R 6246 A-1-1-2 SRZ ABBEY RD D and 12R 6246 BB̷-1-1-1-2 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.
