12 vinyl pressings of Julie Is A Junkie / Johnny And Dee Dee are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1985 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Australia, France. One of them is Waterfront Records DAMP 20, released August 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DAMP 20, SON 08) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MX 211693 DAMP 20-1 13743-A 4BG DB and MX 211694 DAMP 20-2 13743-B DB "WORD GETS AROUND". 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.
