Vinyl pressings

Jump To The Beat was first pressed on vinyl in 1991. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
15 pressings came out in 1991, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

16 vinyl pressings of Jump To The Beat are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1991 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, US, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is MCA Records MCS 1556, released July 8, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCS 1556, MCST 1556, MCSP 1556, WMCST 1556) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCS 1556 A-1U-1- 1 and MCS 1556 B-1U-1- 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.
