15 vinyl pressings of We Are Family are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in Germany, US, UK, Spain. One of them is Logic Records 614 337.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 614 337, 614 660, 114 337, BPM 109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 020 S 614337-A-1 SST and 020 S 614337-B-1 SST. 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.
