28 vinyl pressings of Tired Of Getting Pushed Around are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1987 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK, Europe, Australasia, France and more. One of them is London Records LONX 141.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LONX 141, 886 259-1, LON 141, LONDJ 141) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LONX 141 A//4▽420 T 1 1 1 JA and LONX 141 B//4▽420 T 1 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.
