39 vinyl pressings of Dance Yourself Dizzy are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1979 and 2007.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US. One of them is Parachute Records RRD 20527.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RRD 20527, RR 2902, RRD 20527 DJ, RR 2902 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
