14 vinyl pressings of Touch In The Night are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1985 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Germany, France, Netherlands, Portugal. One of them is Blow Up INT 110.580, released October 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use INT 110.580, INT 125.547, 1567046, 2011217) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM B-3482 A-1/85 S II II and DM B-3482 B-1/85 S II. 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.
