14 vinyl pressings of The Caution Horses are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1990 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in US, South Korea, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is RCA 2058-1-R.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2058-1-R, SRPR-218, 150.7019, PL90450) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2058-1-R-A-5S DMM STERLING DMM gc and 2058-1-R-B-5S DMM SM-1 STERLING DMM gc. 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.
