13 vinyl pressings of Strictly From Hunger are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1969 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US. One of them is Public! P 1006, released January 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use P 1006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PR1001⃫0⃫ 09 ALC △12939-X and PR1000⃫9⃫10 ALC △12939. 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.
