30 vinyl pressings of Packjammed (With The Party Posse) are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1987 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in UK, US, Australia, Europe and more. One of them is Breakout USAF 620.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use USAF 620, PWLT 7, USA620, USAT 620) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, USAF . 620 A1 PAG and USAF 620-B1 PAG. 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.
