16 vinyl pressings of Hits On 33 - 50 Non-Stop Disco Dancing Hits are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1981 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Germany, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Arcade ADE G 135.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ADE G 135, RTL 2057, AMI-6004, TMAK-041) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ADEG 135 A-01 1 SST and ADEG 135 B-0 1 SST. 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.
