Vinyl pressings
by Atomic Rooster · 1972
Made In England was first pressed on vinyl in 1972. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
28 pressings came out in 1972, 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.

39 vinyl pressings of Made In England are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1972 and 2014.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, US, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Dawn DNLS 3038.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DNLS 3038, EKS-75039, PLP-150.016, EKS 75039) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DNLS 3038-A1 RAYS. AA and DNLS 3038-B1 A.D.H. R.W.S. AC. 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.
