14 vinyl pressings of She's Fly are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Epic EPC 651209 6.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 651209 6, EPC 651209 7, TONY T1, TONY 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01 651209 1A 1 A and 01 651209 1B 1 A. 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.
