13 vinyl pressings of Very Small World are listed here, from 1 country.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US. One of them is Very Small Records VSR 14, released September 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VSR 14) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VSR-14-A NUISANCE SCHMOOSANCE - LAYTONVILLE BUYOUT L-38087 and VSR-14-B I DID FLOYD, SO SHUT UP L-38087 CD OR NOT CD?. 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.
