17 vinyl pressings of Here Comes Your Man are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Belgium, Europe and more. One of them is 4AD BAD 909, released June 19, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BAD 909, AD 909, 0-66694, 7-69287) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO BAD 909 A1 JA and MPO BAD 909 B1. 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.
