Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VILE 25L, VILE 25P, VILE 25) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VILE 25LA2 Noel DUDE, FUCK YOUR PISS ON A NIPPLY WINTERS NIGHT and VILE 25LB1 AW, QUIT YOUR FUCKING BELLYACHING ... GOD DAMN!. 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.
