17 vinyl pressings of Road House - The Original Motion Picture… are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1989 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in US, Australasia, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Arista AL-8576.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AL-8576, AL 8576, 150.8025, 74046) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 8576 SA and AL-8576-SB-SP1. 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.
