77 vinyl pressings of Boogie With Canned Heat are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1968 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Liberty LRP-3541, released January 22, 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LRP-3541, LST-7541, LBS 83103, LBL 83103) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LRP-3541-1 BA and LRP-3541-2. 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.
