10 vinyl pressings of The Naughty North & The Sexy South are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1995 and 1996.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in UK. One of them is Sound Proof Recordings SPT 006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SPT 006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SPT 006 A-01-01-1 and SPT 006 B-01-01-1. 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.
