The earliest pressings are from 2022, in US, Europe. One of them is Relapse Records RR7481, released March 25, 2022.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RR7481, RR4781) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RELAPSE RECORDS - RR7481-1 - SIDE A - ABSENT IN BODY 216321E1/A and RELAPSE RECORDS - RR7481-1 - SIDE B - PLAGUE GOD 216321E2/A. 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.
