by Various Artists · 1986

29 vinyl pressings of Miami Vice II are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1986 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA-6192.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA-6192, MCG 6019, 80063, 6192-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA 6187 FDS-6 | S-16960 X Future Disc and MCA 6188 FDS-6 | S-16961 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.
