17 vinyl pressings of I Wanna Be With You are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1983 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Savoir Faire Records SF 201.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SF 201, SP 201 P, SF 201 P, FAIT 005) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SR-201-A Herbie Jr. and SR-201-B Herbie Jr.. 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.
