22 vinyl pressings of Nightmare are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2010 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2010, in US. One of them is Hopeless Records HR719-1, released July 27, 2010.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HR719-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HR 719-1 S-A RE-1 SR/2@SRM and HR 719-1 S-B RE-1 SR/2@SRM. 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.
