15 vinyl pressings of Pump Up The Volume are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1994 and 1998.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK. One of them is Stress Records 12 STRX 49.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 STRX 49, 12 STR 49, 12 STR 49 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 STRX 49 A1 DAMONT and 12 STRX 49 B1 DAMONT TIM.D.. 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.
