How many vinyl pressings of High Energy are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Italy, Argentina, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Baby Records BR 56001.
How do I tell if my copy of High Energy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BR 56001, AVI-4758, VPL1 4225, BALP 12531) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BR 56001 - A and BR 56001 - B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is High Energy on vinyl worth?
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.
