11 vinyl pressings of Cry are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 2019 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2019, in US, UK, Europe, UK, Europe & US and more. One of them is Partisan Records PTKF2173-1, released October 25, 2019.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PTKF2173-1, PTKF2173, PTKF2173-8, PTKF2173-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 970572-A2 and 970572-B2. 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.
