Vinyl pressings
by Black Sabbath · 1980
Heaven And Hell was first pressed on vinyl in 1980. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
57 pressings came out in 1980, the album's first year, in 27 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.

104 vinyl pressings of Heaven And Hell are listed here, from 35 countries, released between 1980 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, US, Austria, Canada and more. One of them is Vertigo 9102 752, released April 25, 1980.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9102 752, 9102752, BSK 3372, 6302 017) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9102752 A//2▽ETH 1 1 1 and 9102752 B//1▽ETH 1 1. 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.
