15 vinyl pressings of Getting It On / Ride, Sally, Ride are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Sussex SUX 237.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUX 237, AMS 7010, ASK-4716, 12 213 AT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUX 237 A-3 饾挏鈩汸 s岽涐磭蕗薀瑟纱散 LH and SUX 237 B-3 饾挏鈩汸 s岽涐磭蕗薀瑟纱散. 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.
