39 vinyl pressings of Funny, Funny are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Germany, Angola, Argentina and more. One of them is RCA Victor RCA 2051.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RCA 2051, 47-15 198, 20030, 31A-1857) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZGBK 0485 A2 2 4 B and ZGBK 0486 1 3 0 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.
