11 vinyl pressings of Giddyap A Gogo are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1982 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Portugal and more. One of them is CBS CBSA 12.2996.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBSA 12.2996, CBSA 2996, CBS A 2996, CBS A 12.2996) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
