19 vinyl pressings of Hungry Eyes / Where Are You Tonight are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1987 and 1993.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in US, Canada, South Africa, Mexico. One of them is RCA 5315-7-R.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 5315-7-R, 5315-7-RAA, RCAS 45, RX-470) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 5315-7-R-A-UN-1 FULLERSOUND MF and 5315-7-R-B-UN-1 FULLERSOUND 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.
