19 vinyl pressings of Milk From The Coconut are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Sweden, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Radialchoice TIC 13.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TIC 13, 4V9 42709, POW 0144, POWT 0144) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TIC 13 A PD-CR and TIC 13 B PD-CR. 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.
