28 vinyl pressings of Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1982 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in UK, US, Europe, France and more. One of them is Island Records 12WIP 6801.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12WIP 6801, WIP 6801, 12 PWIP 6801, PWIP 6801) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 WIP 6801 A-2U-1-1 ANNIE REMIX MASTERDISK HW and 12 WIP 6801 B-1U-1-3- GRAEME. 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.
