10 vinyl pressings of Mummy Your Not Watching Me are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1982 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK. One of them is Whaam! Records WHAAM 3, released January 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WHAAM 3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO WHAM BIG 1 A1 DO YOU DREAM IN BLACK AND WHITE A PORKY PRIME CUT . and MPO WHAM BIG 1 B1 A PORKY PRIME CUT . CAN WE HAVE ANOTHER 15 MINUTES PLEASE?. 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.
