14 vinyl pressings of Don't Talk About It are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1986 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands and more. One of them is Plexy Glass PX 002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PX 002, 156740-6, 201292-7, MEMIX 8042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MEMIX 037 A MG and MEMIX 037 / B MG. 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.
