10 vinyl pressings of Bucktown / Let's Git It On are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1994 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in US, Germany. One of them is Wreck Records WR 20069.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WR 20069, ZYX 7329-12) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WR-20069-A EUROPADISK NY USA 9635 CJ? YOU STILL THERE? 21 and WR-20069-B-RE EUROPADISK NY USA 9635 CJ TELL YOUR MOM TO SEND FOOD 22. 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.
