10 vinyl pressings of Danger Games are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, Belgium, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is Creole Records CR 39, released September 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CR 39, CR 10 39, INS 7628, POW 0109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CR 39 A1 BilBo. TapeOne 10 Sorry. He's in a meeting A and CR 39 B1 BilBo. TapeOne 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.
