26 vinyl pressings of Atm-Oz-Fear are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Belgium, UK, US, France and more. One of them is USA Import Music USA 1103.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use USA 1103, USA 1103R, USA 103, ARIC 2431) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, USA 1103-A1 and USA 1103-B2 FOON MASTERING. 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.
