11 vinyl pressings of For Those About To Rock are listed here, from 1 country.
The earliest pressings are from 2020, in Australia. One of them is Genre B.Goode GBG0001, released November 17, 2020.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GBG0001, GBG 0001E, GBG 0001H, GBG 000R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GBG 0001 L. YEOWARD ZE7590A1 and GBG 0001 L. YEOWARD ZE7590B1. 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.
