13 vinyl pressings of Dancing Disco are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1977 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in France, Canada, Japan. One of them is Atlantic 50 364.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 50 364, FLP 50364, P-10407A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ATL 50 364 A CIDIS and ATL 50 364 B CIDIS. 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.
