10 vinyl pressings of Steady Diet Of Nothing are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1991 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US. One of them is Dischord Records DIS 60v.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DIS 60v) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M̶P̶O̶ DISC̶H̶O̶R̶D̶ D̶I̶S̶ 60 V A1 DON'T WORRY and M̶P̶O̶ DISC̶H̶O̶R̶D̶ D̶I̶S̶ 60 V B1 THIS IS THE LAST ONE. 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.
