11 vinyl pressings of Just For You are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1981 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium and more. One of them is I-Scream Music ISMS-1429.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ISMS-1429, 2040 320, 2141 465, BR 50245) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FOR Y'ALL ! K. Grijpink ROCKAWAY / ISM 1429-A and PTO k g. ROCKAWAY / ISM 1429-B. 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.
