14 vinyl pressings of Correlations are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1979 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Germany, UK, France, Japan and more. One of them is Virgin 200 431.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 200 431, V 2117, 2933 766, VIP-6934) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 200431 A-1/79S Made in Germany and 200431 B-1/79S Made in Germany. 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.
