15 vinyl pressings of Jack Mix II are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Debut Edge Records DEBTX 3022, released April 1987.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEBTX 3022, DEBT 3022, AVS 104, AVS 104 12) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DEBTX - 3022-A1 MT1. DAMONT JA AL and DEBTX - 3022 - B1 MT1. DAMONT AM. 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.
