13 vinyl pressings of Hum Kisise Kum Naheen are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1977 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in India, Pakistan, South Africa. One of them is His Master's Voice PEALP 2005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PEALP 2005, PEALP 2005 / SKDA-182, LKDA-182, SKDA - 182) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S/2XJW.4987 and 2XJW.4988. 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.
