10 vinyl pressings of I'm A Bitch are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1994 and 1995.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK, Belgium, Denmark, France and more. One of them is UMM UMM 144 UK.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UMM 144 UK, UMM 202 UK, BYTE BLUE 12005, SRCX 17) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UMM 144 A THIS SIDE G and UMM 144 B THAT SIDE F. 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.
