28 vinyl pressings of Hot Girls, Bad Boys are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1985 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Europe, Germany, Greece, Israel and more. One of them is Coconut 207 053, released August 28, 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 207 053, 4C064 6C554, VG 60027, 207 053 620) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 207053 A-1/85S I I II and DM 207053 B-1/85S I I III. 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.
