13 vinyl pressings of Voyage (A Journey Into Discoid Funk) are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1978 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, Greece, Portugal, Spain and more. One of them is DJM Records DJF 20532, released April 28, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DJF 20532, 14C 062-61361, PPDJF 20532, DJL 7035) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2-SEL-C-7147-A-1 < KEV TO MARgARET 4 and 2-SEL-C-7147-B-1 < KEV TO MARgARET 4. 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.
