30 vinyl pressings of Blame It On The Boogie are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1978 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in France, UK, US, Germany and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 11 102.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 11 102, K 11102, 7091, P-348A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
