17 vinyl pressings of Chance To Desire are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1985 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Italy, Belgium, France, Germany and more. One of them is Discomagic Records MIX 226.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MIX 226, OUT 3038, NP 226, MIX 226, A MIX 5006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AMIX 5006 A MIX 226 and AMIX 5006 B MIX 226. 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.
