15 vinyl pressings of Eazy-Duz-It are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1988 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, UK, Germany. One of them is Ruthless Records SL 57100, released November 24, 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SL 57100, BRLP 535, 842 924-1, 210 296) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRC SL-STREET-57100-Z2 1-2 and SRC SL-RADIO-57100-Z2 1-2. 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.
