11 vinyl pressings of Home Alone are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1991 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in South Korea. One of them is Sony CPL-1161, released June 20, 1991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CPL-1161) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MK 46595 and MK 46596. 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.
