36 vinyl pressings of It'll Shine When It Shines are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1974 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, Canada, Australia, France and more. One of them is A&M Records SP-3654.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP-3654, L 35409, 875.052, 88 469 IT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 SP 33711 M̶1̶ T2 TML-M and o T1 SP 33712 T1 TML-M. 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.
