16 vinyl pressings of Sewertime Blues are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1986 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, Germany, Greece, Netherlands and more. One of them is Anagram Records GRAM 27.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GRAM 27, RE 0039, RED 73, KIX 4 U 3338) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GRAM 27 A-¹ [SNA logo] and GRAM 27 B-¹ [SNA logo]. 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.
