Vinyl pressings
by Kiss · 1979
Dynasty was first pressed on vinyl in 1979. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
69 pressings came out in 1979, the album's first year, in 31 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.

164 vinyl pressings of Dynasty are listed here, from 41 countries, released between 1979 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Canada, Colombia and more. One of them is Casablanca NBLP 7152, released May 23, 1979.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP 7152, NBLP 7152 DJ, CALH 2051, 262022) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBLP-7152-AS-CP3 and NBLP-7152-AS-CP2. 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.
