16 vinyl pressings of Land Of The Lost are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1986 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, Greece, Canada, Netherlands and more. One of them is Restless Records 72094-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 72094-1, VG 50179, 2094-1, 4D-189) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IS THERE LIFE AFTER BRAINEATER? MASTERED BY CAPITOL E__ 72094-1-A G-1 S-15844 1-1 ((∙ and NEVER EXPLOITED MASTERED BY CAPITOL E__ 72094-1-B G-1 S-15845 1-1 ((∙. 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.
