15 vinyl pressings of Some Day / Distant Illusion are listed here, from 1 country.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US. One of them is Subterranean Records SUB 70, released January 23, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUB 70, SUB 70-7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUB 70 A₁ 29409 (T) and SUB 70 B₁ 29410 (T). 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.
