13 vinyl pressings of Anywayawanna are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1989 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, Australia, Brazil, France and more. One of them is Rhythm King LEFT LP 10, released June 19, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LEFT LP 10, VPL1 6824, 230.4013, 70717) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LEFTLP 10 A1 POUNDA CUTMASTER PEACHY UTOPIA PR-P DAMONT and LEFTLP 10 B1 PR-P DAMONT. 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.
