76 vinyl pressings of The Age Of Love are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1990 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Belgium, France, Germany. One of them is DiKi Records DIKI 47.12.12, released March 19, 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DIKI 47.12.12, 9252, ZYX 6348-12) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DIKI 471212 - Aı and DIKI 471212 - Bı FOON MASTERING. 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.
