Keep On Dancin' / Do It At The Disco was first pressed on vinyl in 1978. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

53 vinyl pressings of Keep On Dancin' / Do It At The Disco are listed here, from 21 countries, released between 1978 and 1979.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S-12458, 23-10885, 3-10884, 23.069) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 3307-L1-xx F/W [apple symbol] JA K-10291 GOL and 3307-L2 1 GOL F/W [apple symbol] JA K-10255. 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.
