61 vinyl pressings of Money And Cigarettes are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1982 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, Argentina, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Duck Records 1-23773, released February 1983.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1-23773, 9 23773-1, SLIN 3296, 23773-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1-23773-A-WW-2 #2 ─◁ Criteria MF and 1-23773-B-WW-3 ─◁ Criteria MF. 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.
