24 vinyl pressings of Into The Great Wide Open are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1991 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in US, Canada, Bolivia, Argentina and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA 10317.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA 10317, MCA-10317, MCA - 2800, TLP 90274) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
