30 vinyl pressings of Love In Your Eyes are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in UK, US, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is EMI EMIP5558, released May 1986.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EMIP5558, EMI 5558, 12 EMI 5558, B-8318) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EMIP 5558A and EMIP 5558B. 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.
