How many vinyl pressings of Conscience are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1988, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Island Records 90915-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Conscience is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 90915-1, BRLP 519, L 38914, TVL 93292) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STIL 886858A 1-1 and STIL 886857A 1-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Conscience on vinyl worth?
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.
