19 vinyl pressings of Where Are All The Nice Girls? are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, US, Netherlands, Spain and more. One of them is Stiff Records SEEZ 25.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SEEZ 25, USE 6, TXS 3195, RIP-2001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SEEZ-25-A1 tone and SEEZ-25-B1. 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.
