14 vinyl pressings of Amok! are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1983 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK. One of them is Strike Back Records SBR 2T.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SBR 2T) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SBR 2-T-A1 A PORKY PRIME CUT and SBR 2-T-B1 ICH NICHT VERSTEHEN DAS PORKY PRIME KUT.. 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.
