39 vinyl pressings of Keep On Movin are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1989 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK, US, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is 10 Records Ten x 263, released March 6, 1989.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Ten x 263, TEN 263, TENX 263, ten r 263) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TENX 263 A-1U-1-2 D TOWNHOUSE DMM and TENX 263 B-2U-1-1 D TOWNHOUSE DMM. 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.
