17 vinyl pressings of Talk To Your Daughter are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1988 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, Australia, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records 1-25647.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1-25647, 9 25647-1, 25647-1, 92 56471) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MASTERDISK DMM B-31702-SRI 1-25647- A - SRI DMM SPI-2 SP-AR 0- △ 21121 and B-31703 -SRI-DMM 125647 - B - SRI DMM SP-AR MASTERDISK DMM SPI-2 △ 21121-X 0-1. 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.
