30 vinyl pressings of Everything Your Heart Desires are listed here, from 17 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, US, Japan, Australasia and more. One of them is Arista 109 869, released April 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 109 869, 609 869R, AS1-9684, ADI-9685) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 109869 A1 [lyre symbol]TOPIA.MS. ⋀ and 109869 B1 [lyre symbol]TOPIA.MS. ⋀. 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.
