15 vinyl pressings of 4630 Bochum are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1984 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Germany. One of them is EMI 32 193-5, released August 14, 1984.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 32 193-5, 1C 066 1469051, 1C066 1469051) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1469051- A7 + D and 1469051- B10+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.
