11 vinyl pressings of Super Disco are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Canada, Peru. One of them is Stang Records ST-5067, released June 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-5067, ST-5067A, 6146 316, ST 5067) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-12080-GM (MR) (CORSELLO) ∆99732 and ST-12081-GM 4-22-76 (MR) (CORSELLO) T ∆99732-X. 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.
