10 vinyl pressings of Death And The Beyond are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2012 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 2012, in US. One of them is Hells Headbangers HELLS LP 082, released July 13, 2012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HELLS LP 082) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, COME, SPIRITS 100594E1/A and DEATH IS BUT THE DOORWAY TO NEW LIFE 100594E2/A. 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.
