9 To 5 And Odd Jobs was first pressed on vinyl in 1980. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

33 vinyl pressings of 9 To 5 And Odd Jobs are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1980 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, France, Germany and more. One of them is RCA Victor AHL1-3852.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AHL1-3852, PL 13852, RCALP 3047, LP 3047) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AHL-1-3852A/S D2C TML M and AHL-1-3852-B-2S Λ☺C TML S. 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.
