Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DS 2216, K 59207 (DS 2216), K 59207, 50-14.183) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, B̶S̶-̶2̶8̶7̶9̶-̶4̶1̶1̶2̶4̶-̶1̶B̶ 2 DS-2216 31874-1B D̶S̶-̶2̶2̶1̶6̶ ̶3̶1̶8̶7̶4̶-̶1̶B̶ SX KENDUN B and B̶S̶ ̶2̶8̶7̶9̶ ̶4̶1̶1̶2̶5̶-̶1̶C̶ DS 2216 31875-1C D̶S̶ ̶2̶2̶1̶6̶ ̶3̶1̶8̶7̶5̶-̶1̶C̶ SX KENDUN A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is One Size Fits All 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.
