The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK, US, Europe, France and more. One of them is Parlophone DD 16.
How do I tell if my copy of Ordinary World is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DD 16, S7-56945, 88 0217 7, 8802177) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DD 16 A-01-1- Q3 TOWNHOUSE DMM D and DD 16 B-01-1- Q3 D. 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.
