The earliest pressings are from 1984, in UK, US, Japan, Canada and more. One of them is De-Lite Records DEX 19.
How do I tell if my copy of Misled is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEX 19, DE 19, DEXR 19, DER 19) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DEX 19 A//1 420 ▽R tone :) and DEX 19 B//1 420 ▽R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Misled on vinyl worth?
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.
