Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Liberty are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Europe, Argentina and more. One of them is Parlophone PCSD 112, released August 20, 1990.
How do I tell if my copy of Liberty is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PCSD 112, C1-94292, 794292 1, 10082) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PCSD 112 A-1-1-2 D and PCSD 112 B-1-1-2 D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Liberty on vinyl worth?
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.
