11 vinyl pressings of So Funny are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and more. One of them is Polydor 2050 780.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2050 780, 2141 636, 2141 662, 2040 377) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2050 780 1W2 ℗ 1982 670 04 11 and 2050 780 2W2 ℗ 1982 670 11. 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.
