by Midnight Oil · 1987
Diesel And Dust was first pressed on vinyl in 1987. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
14 pressings came out in 1987, the album's first year, in 8 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

38 vinyl pressings of Diesel And Dust are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1987 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Australia, UK, Brazil, Europe and more. One of them is CBS 460005 1, released August 24, 1987.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 460005 1, SAMP 158, 231.101, CBS 460005 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 460005-1A AP -MASTERED ON COPPER- MX 219137 460005-1-1 and 460005-1B AP -MASTERED ON COPPER- MX 219138 460005-1-2. 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.
