10 vinyl pressings of Everywhere At Once are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, Australia, Canada, Europe. One of them is Geffen Records GHS 4002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GHS 4002, XGHS 4002, GEF 25509) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GHS-1-4002-WW1 Lets Ban The Bomb ─◁ Hello Paris Precision and GHS-2-4002-WW3 #2 ─◁ Precision. 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.
