17 vinyl pressings of In And Out / Brother's Gonna Work It Out are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1982 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is Motown 1637MF.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1637MF, 4501MG, TMGT 1285, TMG 1285) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1637MF-A-66668-15B P14 UFJm and 1637MF-A-66669-15A P14 UFJm. 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.
