18 vinyl pressings of The Non Stop Dancing Sound Of The 80's are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Germany, UK, Australasia, Austria and more. One of them is Polydor 2371 991.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2371 991, MP 2596) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2371 991 S 1 320 O 2 and 2371 991 S 1 320 R 2. 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.
