17 vinyl pressings of Non Stop Dancing 1977/2 are listed here, from 14 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in Germany, UK, Austria, Canada and more. One of them is Polydor 2371 786.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2371 786, 2371 786 A, XL 173 012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2371 786 S1 320 1.2 1 and 2371 786 S2 320 1 VV. 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.
