10 vinyl pressings of Flatliners are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1992 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK. One of them is J4M Records 12 Nebula 2, released April 27, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 Nebula 2, 12 Nebula R.2, J4M 005, 12 NEBULA 2R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, J4M 005 A and J4M 005 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.
