Vinyl pressings
by George Harrison · 1970
All Things Must Pass was first pressed on vinyl in 1970. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
51 pressings came out in 1970, 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.

140 vinyl pressings of All Things Must Pass are listed here, from 33 countries, released between 1970 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is Apple Records STCH 639, released November 27, 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STCH 639, STCH-639, 2C 192-04 707/8/9, ET-100557 / 58) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YEX 817-1U GGO 3 and YEX 818-1U LM 2. 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.
