18 vinyl pressings of Such A Good Feeling are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, US, Europe, France and more. One of them is 4th & Broadway 12 BRW 210, released March 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 BRW 210, 12 BRX 210, 878 878-7, BRW 210) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 BRW 1̷210 A-1U-1-2 D and 12 BRW 210 B-1U-1-1. 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.
