Any idea what and when that was?

It's problematic. Watching vinyl for years on ebay, I discovered there were quite a few vinyl releases in the U.K. that did not get released (or if they did, they were so limited in quantity that I never saw them)
here in the states.
According to the Osborne Price Guide printed in 1997, the last VS series # was 5227, Pet Sematary and the final lp with the prefix 704. supposedly was 704.700 Betrayed, but I'm doubting that, too.
Perhaps our own DrivingMissDaisy could ferret out that info from the secret files at Varese Sarabande which, I'm sure, he'll take over some day. I'd love to have something definitive, LPs as well as CDs.
Maybe we should petition young Peter?
Discogs has a list, but it seems random to me, and makes me sleepy going through it.

The best list of releases is on Wikipedia.

I'm fairly confident FB was talking about the final REGULAR LP release, back when LP was the fading norm, not retro collector's editions in recent years.
That is what I thought he meant.

The formal list in the back of Osborne does end with 5227, but the main, alphabetical list of LP soundtracks lists VS-5238, Nightmare on Elm Street V. It also includes Total Recall and My Left Foot without catalog numbers. SoundtrackCollector.com lists these and a few more with VS numbers, but they all may be non-existent, arising from Colloseum LPs, which used the same catalog numbers as Varese Sarabande. (SoundtrackCollector doesn't have thumbnails for the album covers). The Wikipedia.org list does not include the VS series.

This doesn't answer the question, but speaking of the final era of 'regular' LP releases, I remember the last time I held both LP and CD in my hand and had any kind of a debate with myself about which to get was the first release of Star Trek V. I went with the CD and that was the last time I even considered the LP over the CD.
Yeah, call me stupid as I know that preferring LP over CD is the new sign of true intelligence but hey ho. ;-)

Thor wisely replied.
the last regular LP from Varèse were done in Europe by Colosseum Records. LPs of Stanley and Iris and Presumed Innocent are VS 5255 and VS 5280
Well, I just saw an LP copy of Zimmer's Green Card from 1991 (5309) in a shop in Oslo.

I always thought it was Goldsmith's "Leviathan".
Nope.
