12 vinyl pressings of Anyone Can See are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Europe, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is Epic EPC 25208.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 25208, EPC 25250, E1-60003, XE1-60003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01-25208-1A-1 A IRENE CARA LP SIDE 1 NL and 01-25208-1B-1 IRENE CARA LP SIDE 2 A NL. 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.
