Male Stripper (New U.K. Mix) was first pressed on vinyl in 1986. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

44 vinyl pressings of Male Stripper (New U.K. Mix) are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1986 and 2003.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, US, Benelux, Canada and more. One of them is Bolts Records BOLTS 4/7.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BOLTS 4/7, BOLTS 4/12, BOLTS-4/12, RR 2008) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BOLTS 4.7 A-2 DAMONT and BOLTS 4.7 B-2 DAMONT. 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.
