17 vinyl pressings of Skynyrd's Innyrds: Their Greatest Hits are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1989 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is MCA Records MCG 6046.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCG 6046, MCA-42293, MCA 42293, 256 313-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MGC 6046 A-1U-1-1 ⁀⁀ TAPE 1 and MGC 6046 B-1U-1-1 ⁀⁀ TAPE 1. 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.
