12 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 10 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

14 vinyl pressings of Just Like That are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1980 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, UK, Australia, Benelux and more. One of them is Mango MLPS 9590.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MLPS 9590, ILPS 9590, L 37296, 201 852) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MLPS-9590-A CP1 and MLPS-9590-B-CP3 STERLING. 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.
