Vinyl pressings
by Eddy Arnold · 1956
Anytime was first pressed on vinyl in 1956. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
8 pressings came out in 1956, the album's first year, in 3 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.

12 vinyl pressings of Anytime are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1956 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US, Canada, Germany. One of them is RCA LPM 1224.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 1224, EPB 1224, LPM 1224-C) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
