18 vinyl pressings of Hooked On Swing, The Album are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1982 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Australia, UK, US, Brazil and more. One of them is K-Tel NA591.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NA591, ONE 1166, PNU 9750, 306 7026) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
