15 vinyl pressings of Greatest Hits Of All Times - Remix are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1988 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Australia, Canada, Europe, UK & Europe and more. One of them is RCA VICTOR VPL1 6790, released October 25, 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VPL1 6790, 209 476, 209 426, 140.8073) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VPL1 6790 A and VPL1 6790 B. 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.
