21 vinyl pressings of I Can't Get No Sleep are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1993 and 2001.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in US, France, Italy. One of them is Cutting Records CR-273, released February 18, 1993.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CR-273, CR-277, FTR 3818-6, UMM 072) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRC (Large S with the R and C in the loops) CR-273-A-Dmm HF HERbiE JR :v) PS ALICIA + AMANDA SP2-1 and SRC (Large S with the R and C in the loops) HF HERbiE JR :v) CR-273-B1. 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.
