How many vinyl pressings of Sexuality are there?

When was Sexuality first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, Australia, Europe, Germany and more. One of them is Go! Discs GOD 56, released June 24, 1991.

How do I tell if my copy of Sexuality is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GOD 56, GODX 56, GODXDJ 56, GOXDJ 56) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GOD 56 A-1U-1-1 TY2 ACT UP! and GOD 56 B-1U-1-1 TY2 NOSEDIVE. 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.
