Vinyl pressings
by Roger Whittaker · 1970
I Don't Believe In If Any More 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.
24 pressings came out in 1970, the album's first year, in 13 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.

30 vinyl pressings of I Don't Believe In If Any More are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1970 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Netherlands, UK, US, Belgium and more. One of them is Philips 6079 001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6079 001, DB 8664, JH 10356, DB(I)8664) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6079 001 1F 1 ℗ 1970 670 119 and AA 6079 001 2F 1 ℗ 1970 670 15. 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.
