14 vinyl pressings of Let Her Fall are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1986 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, Japan, France. One of them is London Records LONX 97.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LONX 97, LON 97, SO5P 1088, 886 068 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZPMSC 11101 and ZPMSC 11101/11102. 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.
