25 vinyl pressings of ...Off The Bone are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1983 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, Europe. One of them is Illegal Records ILP012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILP012, ILPIC 012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILP 012 A1 GG WHAT COLOUR PANTIES ARE YOU WEARING ? and ILP 012 B1 GG AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WEARING THEM ?. 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.
