12 vinyl pressings of Everybody's Got A Little...Soul are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1987 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Europe, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is London Records 828 067-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 828 067-1, LONLP 40, L28P 1257) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 828 067 1 1Y 1 ℗ 1987 670 06 1 135 and 828 067 1 2Y 1 ℗ 1987 670 06 1 121. 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.
