11 vinyl pressings of Nucleus are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1996 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1996, in US, Sweden. One of them is Gates Of Dawn GOD 003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GOD 003, RHPD 9) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GOD-003 A1 RE1 8331(2) and GOD-003 B1 6262(2). 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.
