22 vinyl pressings of Woodface are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1991 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US, Australasia, South Korea, Brazil and more. One of them is Capitol Records C1-93559.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use C1-93559, 793559-1, 793559 1, 11001404) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C1-1-93559-Z1-DMM SP1-1 MASTERDISK and C1-2-93559-Z1-DMM SP1-1. 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.
