Vinyl pressings
by Earth, Wind & Fire · 1977
All 'N All was first pressed on vinyl in 1977. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
32 pressings came out in 1977, the album's first year, in 18 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.

60 vinyl pressings of All 'N All are listed here, from 27 countries, released between 1977 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, UK, Canada, Argentina and more. One of them is Columbia JC 34905.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 34905, 86051, PC 34905, 119829) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 S PAL 34905 1H TML-S B21 and 1 S PBL 34905 1B TML-S B18. 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.
