13 vinyl pressings of I'm O.K. You're O.K. are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1979 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Netherlands, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Philips 9198 390.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9198 390, 6012 921, M-76031, 6173 634) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9198 390. 1 K and 9198 390. 2 K. 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.
