13 vinyl pressings of N-N-Nineteen Not Out are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand. One of them is Oval OVAL 100T.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OVAL 100T, OVAL 100, 7-249019, 7-249 019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OVAL 100T A //1▽420T 1 1 and OVAL 100T B //1▽420T 1 1. 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.
