25 vinyl pressings of More George Thorogood And The Destroyers are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1980 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, Australia & New Zealand, Canada and more. One of them is Rounder Records 3045.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3045, SNTF 850, VPL1 6540, LAT 1096) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ROU-3045-A- RE2 38066-A MASTERDISK and ROU-3045-B1 38066-B MASTERDISK. 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.
