11 vinyl pressings of Dreaming #11 are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1988 and 1993.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Food For Thought Records 12 YUM 114.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 YUM 114, 88561-8265-1, 654535 6, 61 82651) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO 12 YUM 114 A1 and MPO 12 YUM 114 B1. 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.
