10 vinyl pressings of Dopes To Infinity are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1995 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in Europe. One of them is A&M Records 540 315-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 540 315-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 95 1 540315 I A and DFI 95 1 540315 I B. 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.
