25 vinyl pressings of This Note's For You are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1988 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Reprise Records 9 25719-1, released April 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9 25719-1, 925 719-1, 25719-1, 670.4163) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, [SRC logo] 1-25719-A-SR1 TML-X and [SRC logo] 1-25719 B-SR1 TML-X. 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.
