11 vinyl pressings of Night Mist are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1981 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in US, Brazil, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Pablo Records D2312124.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use D2312124, 6328 374, 28MJ 3043, PD5002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PP 2377 D2312124 ② PRECISION LAQUER AA and PP 2378 D2312124 ① PRECISION LAQUER AA. 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.
