16 vinyl pressings of In Sickness & In Health are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1986 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK. One of them is I.D. Records NOSE 9.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NOSE 9) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO NOSE9 A1 I LOST MY VIRGINITY TO A RUBBER GIRAFFE and MPO NOSE9 B1 I LOST MY VIRGINITY TO A VACUUM CLEANER. 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.
