How many vinyl pressings of Boogie Down are there?

When was Boogie Down first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Tamla T 330V1, released February 1974.
How do I tell if my copy of Boogie Down is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use T 330V1, STML 11266, STMLO.11266, T-330V1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T330V1-C5RS-8116-1 RE-1 13A JC A3 EX-D and T330V1-C5RS-8117-2 RE-1 S-13B JC A3 EX-D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Boogie Down on vinyl worth?
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.
