14 vinyl pressings of Going Nowhere are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK, US, Europe, Italy and more. One of them is Go! Beat GODX 106.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GODX 106, GOD 106, 500 206-2, 857 481-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 93 8 GODX 106 A1 and DFI 93 8 GODX 106 B1. 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.
