22 vinyl pressings of We Call It Acieeed are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1988 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Europe, UK, US, Australasia and more. One of them is FFRR 886 375-7.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 886 375-7, 886 419-1, FFRX 13, FFR 13) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 886 375 7 S1 = 1 670 04 and 886 375 7 S2 = 1 670 04. 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.
