10 vinyl pressings of Powerful Stuff are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1989 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in Europe, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is Epic EPC 463382 1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 463382 1, 463382 1, OZ 45094, FZ 45094) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01 463382 20 1A1 C and 01 463382 20 1B1 A. 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.
