29 vinyl pressings of Someone Loves You Honey are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1980 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, Jamaica. One of them is Joe Gibbs Music JGMD 8116.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JGMD 8116, JGMD-8116) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JGMD-8116-A KKmastering and JGMD-8116-B KKmastering. 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.
