16 vinyl pressings of No, No Joe / Thank You, Mr. D.J. are listed here, from 12 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, US, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Jupiter Records 17 111 AT.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 17 111 AT, DJL1-1989, IS 188, 6021 152) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 17111 A-1/ 76 S Manufactured in Germany and 17111 B-2/76S Manufactured in Germany. 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.
