10 pressings came out in 1992, the album's first year, in 5 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

10 vinyl pressings of Warm It Up are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, US, Europe, Spain and more. One of them is Columbia 658218 7, released July 13, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 658218 7, 44 74377, 38-74376, XPR 1800) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01 65818̶82 00 1A 1 and 01 658182 00 2B 1. 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.
