What separates the pressings

Originals, 1991One first-year pressing: Sundazed Music, US. Runout on the US copy starts “SUNDAZED LP 5005A-1A”.
Collector variants1991 US: Compilation, Pink; 1991 US: Compilation, Blue Translucent; 1991 US: Compilation, Yellow. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  1. 1

    Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.

  2. 2

    Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1991 US pressing it reads “SUNDAZED LP 5005A-1A” on side one and “SUNDAZED LP 5005B-1A” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. A clean copy and a worn one of the same pressing sit several grades, and several multiples, apart. Grade record and sleeve separately; see our grading guide.

Do not price the cover. A later disc in a 1991 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of Lost & Found! is worth the most?

The 1991 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1991 “Compilation, Pink” and the 1991 “Compilation, Blue Translucent”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.

How do I tell if I have a 1991 original?

Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1991 US pressing the runout reads “SUNDAZED LP 5005A-1A”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Lost & Found! worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
