36 vinyl pressings of I Wanna Have Some Fun are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1988 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, US, Japan, Brazil and more. One of them is Jive HIP 72.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HIP 72, 1150-1-J, ALI-28113, 7158004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HIP 72 A2 TOWNHOUSE [AGI logo] and HIP 72 B-2 TOWNHOUSE [AGI logo] agI. 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.
