10 vinyl pressings of Funky Punk / Rock To The Music are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1979 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in France, Germany. One of them is IF Records ZL 37.287.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZL 37.287, 67.273, BBS 2578) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 67273 A = 37287 A and 67273 B = 37287 B. 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.
