Vinyl pressings
by Deep Purple · 1976
Made In Europe was first pressed on vinyl in 1976. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
43 pressings came out in 1976, the album's first year, in 23 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.

108 vinyl pressings of Made In Europe are listed here, from 31 countries, released between 1976 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Purple Records TPSA 7517.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TPSA 7517, PR 2995, 8373, XPRL 9009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPSA 7517 A-1 AM HTM 1 and TPSA 7517 B-1 RD HTM 1. 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.
