49 vinyl pressings of Daylight Again are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1982 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Atlantic SD 19360, released June 24, 1982.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 19360, K 50896, SLIN 3143, 20.079) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STA- 824927-G ɑ B-16772-G 0-1 SM3-4 + SLM △1635 SR2 A̶ ̶1̶0̶ and STA-824928-A 0-1 SM1-1 B-16773-A + SLM △1635-X SR2 B̶ ̶1̶. 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.
