Vinyl pressings

19 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 11 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

23 vinyl pressings of I Made It Through The Rain are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1980 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Arista ARIST 384.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ARIST 384, AS 0566, AL 9537, 3897.9266) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ARISTA384 A//1▽E TO 1 1 BILBO FOR KAREN and ARISTA384 B//1▽E TO 1 1 BILBO.TA1PE. 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.
