23 vinyl pressings of Do You Wanna Get Away are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1985 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US, UK, Japan, Argentina and more. One of them is Mirage 90267-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 90267-1, JABH 10, 28MM 0448, 7504) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STWTG-855653-B MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK Herbie Jr B-21186-B △9566 0- and B-21187-E STWTG-855654-E MASTERING BY FRANKFORD/WAYNE NEW YORK Herbie Jr △9566-X 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.
