13 vinyl pressings of Texas In My Rear View Mirror are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1980 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, Australia, Canada, Jamaica and more. One of them is Casablanca NB 2305.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NB 2305, NB 2305 DJ, 6000 548) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NB 2305 AS and NB 2305 BS. 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.
