On Earth As It Is In Heaven was first pressed on vinyl in 1977. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

31 vinyl pressings of On Earth As It Is In Heaven are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1977 and 2012.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP 7043, CAL 2002, CBLP9158, NBLP 7043-V) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBLP-7043-A3-CTH A4 STERLING T I and NBLP-7043-B3-CTH STERLING D T I. 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.
