38 vinyl pressings of Get Up And Boogie are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records DWBS 8857.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DWBS 8857, WBS 8858, DWBS 8857, K 17478(T)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1-1 DWBS 8857 WCN 0224 VIIIS SR-1 SRC STERLING and 1-1 DWBS 8857 WCN 0224 VI S SR1 SRC STERLING. 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.
