10 vinyl pressings of Survival are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1990 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in US. One of them is New Age Records NAR05.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NAR05, NA5) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NA5-CR005-A K disc ch WHAT, NO PEACHES? I'M STRA 8 OUTA MEMPHIS! L-35937 and NA5-CR005-B K disc ch L-35937x TRULY A NON DAIRY DELIGHT...WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!. 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.
