46 vinyl pressings of Longplay Album Volume II are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1981 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Netherlands, UK, US, Ireland and more. One of them is CNR 0060.441.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0060.441, 655.130, CBS 85181, RR 19314) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 655 130-A Kg J and 655.130-B Kg J. 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.
