by Foreigner · 1978

99 vinyl pressings of Double Vision are listed here, from 31 countries, released between 1978 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Germany, South Korea and more. One of them is Atlantic SD 19999.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 19999, ST-A-784097-MO, K 50476, ATL 50 476) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STA-784097-CCC ++-1-11 ♥-POGO (PR) STERLING PRC and STA-784098-A+4-1 PRC ♥-POGO (PR)STERLING. 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.
