35 vinyl pressings of The Woman In You are listed here, from 23 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, UK, Australia, Australia & New Zealand and more. One of them is RSO 813 173-7.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 813 173-7, PRO 209, 813 173-7 DJ, RSO 94) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 813 1737 83 RS 135 BW MF and 813 1737 77 NP 3210 BW MF. 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.
