23 vinyl pressings of Caught You are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1980 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, US, Benelux, France and more. One of them is Island Records ILPS 9613.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9613, MLPS 9613, 202.200, 6313 048) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS 9613 A-1U Jonz and ILPS 9613 B-1U Sound Clinic. 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.
