10 vinyl pressings of Everybody are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1985 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Italy, Europe, France, Germany and more. One of them is Ram Production RAM 00985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RAM 00985, RAM NP00985, RAM NP 00985, PB40455) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RAM 00985 - A SOUND LAB and RAM 00985 - B. 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.
