15 vinyl pressings of Eyes Of Innocence are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1984 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in US, UK, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is Epic PE 39622.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 39622, BFE 39622, EPC 26167, ELPS 4470) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-39622-1F G1 MASTERDISK TD and BL-39622-1F G1 MASTERDISK TD. 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.
