19 vinyl pressings of Arise In Harmony are listed here, from 11 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, Benelux, Canada and more. One of them is Island Records ILPS 9574.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9574, 202 108-320, XILP 9574, 6313 026) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS-1-9574-JW1 and ILPS-2-9574-JW1. 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.
