by Amon Düül II · 1975
Made In Germany was first pressed on vinyl in 1975. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

23 vinyl pressings of Made In Germany are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1975 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Germany, US, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Nova 6.28 350 DX.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6.28 350 DX, 6.22378 AO, SD 36-119, 3-02-404-069) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6.28350-01-1 S-II Manufactured In Germany and 6.28350-01-2 S-II Manufactured In Germany. 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.
