14 vinyl pressings of Telephone Free Landslide Victory are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1985 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US. One of them is Independent Project Records IP 016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IP 016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IP-016-A "Propaganda, Not Lying" L-21223 and IP-016-B "The Duck Stops Here" L-21223-X. 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.
