Vinyl pressings
by Camille Jones · 2005
The Creeps was first pressed on vinyl in 2005. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
5 pressings came out in 2005, the album's first year, in 2 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.
Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.
By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

17 vinyl pressings of The Creeps are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 2005 and 2007.
The earliest pressings are from 2005, in US, Italy. One of them is Tommy Boy TB-2486-0, released July 2005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TB-2486-0, TB 2486, TB 2486-0P, TB 2485-0P) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
