12 vinyl pressings of Song #1 b/w Joe #1 Plus Break In are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1989 and 2009.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in US. One of them is Sub Pop SP52, released December 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP52) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SP-52-A K disc ch L∙34411 and SP-52-B K disc ch L∙34411X. 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.
