18 vinyl pressings of Getting The Fear are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1989 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in US. One of them is Rockport Records RR-001, released February 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RR-001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RR-001-A Re 1 kdisc JG L 32113 and RR-001-B Re 1 kdisc JG L 32113X. 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.
