46 vinyl pressings of We Made It Happen are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1970 and 1979.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Europe, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Decca SKL 5054.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKL 5054, SKLI 5054, LK 5054, XPAS 71038) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-9764.P-1W K 1 and ZAL-9765.P-2W G 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.
