Vinyl pressings
by Ruffneck ยท 1995
Everybody Be Somebody was first pressed on vinyl in 1995. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
21 pressings came out in 1995, the album's first year, in 9 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.

41 vinyl pressings of Everybody Be Somebody are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1995 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in US, UK, Denmark, France and more. One of them is MAW Records MAW 0002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MAW 0002, MAW 0004, 12TIV-46, 12 TIVDJ 46) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MAW-0002-A EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 17182 ๐ and MAW-0002-B EUROPADISK DMM NY USA 17182 ๐. 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.
