15 vinyl pressings of Being Funny In A Foreign Language are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2022 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2022, in UK, Australia, Europe, UK & Ireland and more. One of them is Dirty Hit DH01292, released October 14, 2022.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DH01292, DH01500, DH01242, DH01499) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DH01242A and DH01242B. 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.
