13 vinyl pressings of My Soul Unwraps Tonight are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in UK, Canada, Europe, France and more. One of them is 10 Records TEN 16-12.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TEN 16-12, TEN 16, TEN 16-12, VSX 1211) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TEN 1612 A - 2U - 1 - 1 1 1 THIS RECORD CONTAINS NO ANIMAL FAT and TEN 1612 B - 2U - 1 - 1 1 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.
