10 vinyl pressings of Pump That Body are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Jive 1337-1-JD, released April 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1337-1-JD, 1337-1-JDAB, PROMO 33, JIVE T 246) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1337-1JD-A EMW # 08528 Mastered By Trutone-p.a. 3-90 and 1337-1JD-B EMW # 08528X Mastered By Trutone-p.a. 3-90. 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.
