by Humble Pie · 1972
Smokin' was first pressed on vinyl in 1972. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

73 vinyl pressings of Smokin' are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1972 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, US, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records AMLS 64342.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AMLS 64342, SP-4342, SP 4342, 5234) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AMLS 64342 A1 and AMLS 64342 B1. 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.
