14 vinyl pressings of Boogie Oogie Oogie are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1988 and 1995.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, France, Sweden. One of them is Fresher Records 12 SID 001, released April 18, 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 SID 001, SID 001, 12 SID 001R, SID 001 R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 SID-001-A₁ ✱ MAX. and 12 SID-001-B₁ ✱ MAX.. 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.
