Vinyl pressings
by Architects · 2021
For Those That Wish To Exist was first pressed on vinyl in 2021. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
20 pressings came out in 2021, the album's first year, in 5 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.

20 vinyl pressings of For Those That Wish To Exist are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2021, in UK, US, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is Epitaph 87728-1, released February 26, 2021.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 87728-1, 7728-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 87728-1-A- MY DENTED FAITH ECHOS ON THE RADIO Lewis Stardelta and 87728-1-B-. 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.
