133 vinyl pressings of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap are listed here, from 27 countries, released between 1976 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, Belgium, France, Germany and more. One of them is Atlantic K 50323, released December 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K 50323, K50323, ATL 50 323, 50 323) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K50323.AI C1 A Porky Prime Cut and K50323.BI D Pecko. 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.
