10 vinyl pressings of Is It Good To You are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, US, Europe, Germany. One of them is MCA Records MCST 1611.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCST 1611, MCS 1611, WMCST 1611, MCA 11272) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCST 1611 A-1U-1-1 and MCST 1611 B-1U-1-1. 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.
