14 vinyl pressings of Bandwagonesque are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1991 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK, Germany. One of them is Creation Records CRE LP 106.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRE LP 106, INT 148.915) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GENIUS! | PAUL'S | CRELP-106-A3 | ✱ | MAX. and THE EXCHANGE | PAULS' | CRELP-106-B3 | ✱ | MAX. NOTHINGS FINAL TIL IT'S VINYL. 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.
