22 vinyl pressings of Stand Up - Sit Down are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Bolivia, Ecuador and more. One of them is RSO RSS 302.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RSS 302, RS 942, RSOX 45, RSO 45) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RSS 302 AS and RSS 302 BS. 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.
