62 vinyl pressings of Rockin' All Over The World are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1977 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in UK, Austria, Greece, Ireland and more. One of them is Vertigo 9102 014, released November 11, 1977.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9102 014, 6360 156, 340158, 9102014) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9102014 1//1 IB 13 17 Mely + Pink and 9102014 2//4 IB 12 11 Mely. 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.
