11 vinyl pressings of Extrasyn are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1991 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in Italy, UK, Germany, Australia and more. One of them is GFB Records GFB 020.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GFB 020, ZYX 6550-12, ADICT003, ZB 44971) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GFB 020 A and GFB 020 B. 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.
