13 vinyl pressings of Moving Windows are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1982 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is EMI America ST-17075.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-17075, AML 3025, 1C 064-400 119, ST 17075) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-1-17075-23 #1 STERLING JS 0 and ST-2-1706̶ 75 Z9#1 STERLING 0. 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.
