15 vinyl pressings of A Bit Of What You Fancy are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Argentina, Brazil and more. One of them is Parlophone PCS 7335, released January 29, 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PCS 7335, C1-93177, 10081, 793177 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PCS 7335 A-1-1-1 D and PCS 7335 B-1-1-1 D. 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.
