14 vinyl pressings of In Battle There Is No Law! are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 1988 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK & Europe. One of them is Vinyl Solution SOL 11.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SOL 11) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, The Exchange SOL 11 A SPREAD THE WORD CED and SOL 11 B SPREAD THE WORD CED. 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.
