How many vinyl pressings of Alone are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Europe, UK, Australasia, Australia and more. One of them is Philips 826 433-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Alone is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 826 433-1, PHH 3, PHL 1 3010, 28PP-104) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 826 433 1Y 2 ℗ 1985 670 03 111 and 826 433 2Y 2 ℗ 1985 670 03 121. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Alone on vinyl worth?
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.
