17 vinyl pressings of When The Punks Go Marching In ! are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1982 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, New Zealand. One of them is Riot City Records CITY 001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CITY 001, MUFP 534) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, [SNA logo] CITY 001 - A [lyre symbol]TOPIA WHEN THE WHEELS GO MARCHING IN... and [SNA logo] CITY 001 B. 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.
