14 vinyl pressings of Just Like Jesse James are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Geffen Records 922 844-7.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 922 844-7, GEF 69T, 7-22844, 92 28447) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, R / S Alsdorf 759 922844-7-A and R / S Alsdorf 759 922844-7-B. 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.
