94 vinyl pressings of Bad Girls are listed here, from 36 countries, released between 1979 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, France, Scandinavia and more. One of them is Casablanca NBLP-2-7150, released April 25, 1979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP-2-7150, NBLP-2-7150 DJ, CALD 5007, CB 72007/8) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBLP-2-7150-AS K-1 AZ❀ A-1⊂◯⊃ and NBLP-2-7150-BS K-1 AZ BG CB A-3 ⊂◯⊃. 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.
