Vinyl pressings
by Go West · 1985
Call Me was first pressed on vinyl in 1985. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
45 pressings came out in 1985, the album's first year, in 14 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.

45 vinyl pressings of Call Me are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Chrysalis 601 806.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 601 806, 107 415, 601 831-213, GOWX 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 601806 A-1 / 85 S I and DM 601806 B-1 / 85 S I. 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.
