22 vinyl pressings of 10 - Original Motion Picture Sound Track are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, Argentina, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records BSK 3399.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BSK 3399, 88052, 208781, QBS 3399) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BSK-1-3399 LW11. ✻ and BSK-2-3399 LW8. (something scratched out) ✻. 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.
