12 vinyl pressings of Walk On are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1977 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in UK. One of them is Bulldog Records BDL 1018.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDL 1018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BDL 1018 BA10 OR and BDL 1018 B10 OR. 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.
