15 vinyl pressings of Nervous Breakdown are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1998 and 2007.
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in Netherlands, UK, UK & Europe, Spain and more. One of them is Nutrition NUT 034, released June 1998.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NUT 034, RR 2215-6, NEO12001, NEO 12001) 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.
