21 vinyl pressings of Flying Microtonal Banana are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2017 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2017, in Australia, US, Australia & New Zealand, UK & Europe. One of them is Flightless FLT-028, released February 24, 2017.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FLT-028, HVNLP136, HVNLP136S) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PIRATES PRESS - 0882286910A and PIRATES PRESS - 0882286910B. 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.
