21 vinyl pressings of Get Up Offa That Thing are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1976 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Belgium, Brazil and more. One of them is Polydor PD 14326.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PD 14326, PRO 010, 2066 687, SPSK 70233) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p PD14326 76NP1817-S-CPX F/w NYC SJR(circled) and PD14326 76NP1818-S-CPX F/w NYC SJR(circled) p. 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.
