17 vinyl pressings of Crossover are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1987 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in US, Brazil, Canada, Europe. One of them is Restless Records 72201-1, released March 9, 1987.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 72201-1, 7 73402-1, 3.100, FPL3036) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, R-72201-A WATCHA LOOKIN' AT DICKNOSE? S-17546 L-26937 K. and R-72201-B "THIS SIDE DOES NOT REJECT" L-26937 X S-17547 K.. 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.
