16 vinyl pressings of Is This My World? are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1983 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US. One of them is Xclaim! X-6.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use X-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, X 6-A kdisc JG "THIS IS XCLAIM ! - NOT MODERN METHOD !" HUB and X 6-B kdisc JG "THE AYATOLLAH OF ROCK 'N' ROLLA" HUB. 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.
