26 vinyl pressings of Yaaaaaaaaaah are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1990 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Netherlands, UK, US, UK & Ireland and more. One of them is Go Bang! Records BANG 003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BANG 003, BANG R003, BANG 7003, BANG 003 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BANG 002 08-3002̶2̶33-20-1A 1 TORSO 12163A HCP872408 and BANG 002 08-3002̶2̶33-20-1B 1 TORSO 12163B HCP872408. 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.
