21 vinyl pressings of Every Kinda People are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1978 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Island Records WIP 6425.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WIP 6425, IS-100, K7113, 6837 505) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WIPX 1792-1U JONZ R 1 and WIPX 1793-1U G 1. 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.
