32 vinyl pressings of Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1989 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Ireland, Germany and more. One of them is One Little Indian tplp15, released September 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use tplp15, tplp15sp, tplp15L, 9 60860-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO TPLP 15 A 1x TOWNHOUSE DMM and MPO TPLP 15 B 1x TOWNHOUSE DMM. 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.
