20 vinyl pressings of Take No Crap are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Denmark. One of them is Soulpower Productions SPS 003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPS 003, spx 003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SPS 003 A 08 11950 00 1A1 and SPS 003 A 08 11950 00 1B1. 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.
