29 vinyl pressings of 1+9+8+2 = XX are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1982 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, Germany, Argentina, France and more. One of them is Vertigo 6302 189, released April 24, 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6302 189, 6082, 25PP-52, 29 121 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6302189 A // 2 ▽ 420 S 1111 STRAWBERRY NOT BAD, JACQUES - NOT BAD! and 6302189 B // 2 ▽ 420 S 1110 STRAWBERRY. 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.
