11 vinyl pressings of You And Me are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1976 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Epic EPC 81569.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 81569, KE 34289, ELPS 3791) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EPC S 81569 A1 6 B and EPC S 81569 B1 17 Λ. 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.
