17 vinyl pressings of Rules And Regulations are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, Canada, Germany. One of them is Vindaloo Records UGH 11T.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UGH 11T, UGH 11, UGH 11 DJ, 24 86340) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UGH 11T AA¹ 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.
