14 vinyl pressings of Colder Than Ice / Red For Love are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1985 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Germany. One of them is ZYX Records ZYX 5341.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZYX 5341, 1161) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IP ZYX 5341-A SST and IP ZYX 5341-B SST. 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.
