18 vinyl pressings of I Could Have Danced All Night are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1975 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Epic S EPC 3708.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S EPC 3708, 8-50173, EPC S 3708, EPC 3708) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EPC S 3708 A1 and EPC S 3708 B1. 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.
