11 vinyl pressings of Republic are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1993 and 2015.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Brazil, Colombia, Europe, Greece and more. One of them is London Records 828.413-1, released May 3, 1993.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 828.413-1, 8284 131, 828 413.1, 828 413-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BMG 828413-1 A 1SAA1 and BMG 828413-1 B 1SAA1. 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.
