91 vinyl pressings of Cafe' Del Mar are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1993 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Germany. One of them is Eye Q Records Eye Q 001, released May 1993.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Eye Q 001, 4509 93357-0, 4509-93738-0, PRO 828) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Eye-Q-001-A WMME Alsdorf and Eye-Q-001-B WMME Alsdorf. 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.
