Vinyl pressings
by Courtney Barnett · 2026
Creature Of Habit was first pressed on vinyl in 2026. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
11 pressings came out in 2026, 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.

12 vinyl pressings of Creature Of Habit are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2026, in US, UK, Europe, Australia and more. One of them is Fiction Records LP-MP-922RT, released March 24, 2026.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-MP-922RT, MP922, BLOOD583, 484883) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 311030E1/A 02436224 10-116226 / MP922 – A and 311030E2/A 02436086 10-116226 / MP922 – 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.
