13 vinyl pressings of Out Of Mind Out Of Sight are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1985 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Australia & New Zealand, US, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Mushroom RML 53166, released August 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RML 53166, GHS 24100, 7599241001, XGHS 24100) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SMX65435 P2A and SMX65436 P2A 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.
