18 vinyl pressings of We Got The Rhythm are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Argentina, Canada and more. One of them is TSOP PZ 34124.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PZ 34124, US 362, S PIR 81370, 47.067) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p TSOP-AL-34124-1B F/W :-) A and p P.I.R. BL-34124-1A F/W :-) 1A. 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.
