by Andrew Jackson Jihad · 2011
Knife Man was first pressed on vinyl in 2011. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
1 pressing came out in 2011, the album's first year. 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.

18 vinyl pressings of Knife Man are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2011 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 2011, in US. One of them is Asian Man Records 223, released September 20, 2011.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 223) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, [Lucky logo] GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS 2012, SEE YOU THERE S-77927 AM223A and [Lucky logo] ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD “KNIFE MAN” AM223B S-77928. 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.
