15 vinyl pressings of Everybody Got To Believe In Somebody are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in Germany, UK, US, France and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 70.332.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 70.332, 584228, 45-2568, 650.121) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ATL. 15352 PF and ATL. 15351 PF. 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.
