16 vinyl pressings of You On My Mind are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in Europe, UK, Australia & New Zealand, Canada and more. One of them is Fontana 872 964-7, released April 12, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 872 964-7, SWING 612, SWING 6, 872 964-7D) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 872 964 - 7 1 W 320 and 872 964 - 7 2 W 320. 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.
