38 vinyl pressings of I'm Your Boogie Man are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1976 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is RCA Victor XB 2167.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XB 2167, 102881, XB-02167, 11209) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RCA XB 2167-A PF Manufactured in Germany and RCA XB 2167-B PF Manufactured in Germany. 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.
