11 vinyl pressings of The Night Is Yours, The Night Is Mine are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Europe, Denmark, France, Portugal and more. One of them is Hansa 601 818-213, released June 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 601 818-213, 107 480, MRCX 1269, MRCS 2069) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 601818 A-2/85S 1 and DM 601818 B-1/85 S 1. 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.
