11 vinyl pressings of Rough Edges are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1988 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, US, France, Germany and more. One of them is I.D. Records NOSE 20.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NOSE 20, RTD-ID 2-73, SPIN 1004, 100731) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NOSE 20 A1 BAZZA TA1PE MPO and NOSE 20 B1 BAZZA TA1PE MPO. 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.
