20 vinyl pressings of Our Own Way Of Rockin' are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1977 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in UK, France, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Charly Records CRL 5004, released May 1977.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRL 5004, 2933-214, CR 3016, 33 / 3E - CHART - 7022) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CRL 5004 A1 and CRL 5004 B1. 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.
