30 vinyl pressings of The Longest Line are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1992 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in US. One of them is Fat Wreck Chords FAT 503-1, released May 1, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FAT 503-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FAT 503 A 2 HEEBS + A BEAN L-39275 and FAT 503 B WHITE TRASH L-39275X. 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.
