23 vinyl pressings of Dance Across The Floor are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Sunshine Sound 1003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1003, SSE1003, S TKR 12 6028, S TKR 6028) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SSE 1003-A and SSE 1003-B. 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.
