Vinyl pressings
by Deep Purple · 1972
Made In Japan 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.
50 pressings came out in 1972, the album's first year, in 20 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.

259 vinyl pressings of Made In Japan are listed here, from 41 countries, released between 1972 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, Japan, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Purple Records TPSP 351, released December 1972.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TPSP 351, TPS3511, P-5066~7W, 4C 192-93915/16) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPS 3511 A-1U Porky and TPS 3511 B-1U Delta Pork. 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.
