13 vinyl pressings of Lyle Lovett And His Large Band are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1989 and 2015.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA-42263, released January 23, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA-42263, MCG 6037, MCA 42263, 209 660) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA-8511-MI-2 and MCA-8512-MI-2 More Country Hits!. 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.
