11 vinyl pressings of Hooked On Music are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, Australia, Canada, El Salvador and more. One of them is Casablanca CAN 1002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAN 1002, 6180 007, NB 2327, 6180 001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CAN 1002 A // 1 ▼ E 420 1 11 5 and CAN 1002 B // 1 ▼ E 420 11 4. 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.
