by A Taste Of Honey · 1978
Boogie Oogie Oogie was first pressed on vinyl in 1978. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

57 vinyl pressings of Boogie Oogie Oogie are listed here, from 28 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Argentina, Barbados and more. One of them is Capitol Records 4565.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4565, P-4565, CL 15988, 12 CL 15988) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MASTERED BY CAPITOL and S45-94605A F6 #3 —◁. 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.
