11 vinyl pressings of Nature Of A Sista' are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1991 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US, Brazil, Europe, France and more. One of them is Tommy Boy TB 1035.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TB 1035, 492.064, 9031-75498-1, MRLP 3186) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TB 1035A DMM 21 DMS COIN and TB 1035-B SDI-1 DMM. 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.
