17 vinyl pressings of Are You Dreaming? are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1990 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Europe, Italy, Scandinavia and more. One of them is A&M Records 580 252.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 580 252, BCM 12505, BCM 12504, PUMP 0022) 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.
