15 vinyl pressings of Dreams (Will Come Alive) are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1994 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK, Italy, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is WEA YZ952T.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use YZ952T, SAM 1628, PAN POT 032, ZYX 7343-12) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YZ 952 T A1 DAMONT and YZ 952 T AA1 DAMONT. 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.
