31 vinyl pressings of Nice 'N' Naasty are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1976 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Japan, Argentina and more. One of them is Salsoul Records 12D-2011.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12D-2011, SZ-2011, SZ 2011, 45S-1001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P 12-D-2011A-1 l al Brown A2 FW/Ѽ and P 12-D-2011B-2 l al Brown FW/Ѽ. 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.
