Vinyl pressings
by The Rolling Stones · 1978
Some Girls was first pressed on vinyl in 1978. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
170 pressings came out in 1978, the album's first year, in 34 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.

236 vinyl pressings of Some Girls are listed here, from 37 countries, released between 1978 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Australia, Barbados and more. One of them is Rolling Stones Records CUN 39108, released June 9, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CUN 39108, COC 39108, 5 C062-61016) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CUN 39108 A 3 U STERLING TJ 1 G T and CUN 39108 B 3 U STERLING TJ 3 L O. 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.
