23 vinyl pressings of I'm Caught Up are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1979 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, Jamaica, Australia & New Zealand, Canada. One of them is Prelude Records PRL D 519, released October 1979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRL D 519, TD-201, PRL 8004, PRL 8004 AS) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TD201A JP and TD201B JP. 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.
