14 vinyl pressings of Voices & Images are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1988 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Germany, US, Israel, Canada and more. One of them is Metronome 835 437-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 835 437-1, 81886-1, 7 81886-1, 78 18861) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 835 437 - 1S1 320 and 835 437 - 1S2 320. 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.
