by Depeche Mode · 1993
Songs Of Faith And Devotion was first pressed on vinyl in 1993. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

42 vinyl pressings of Songs Of Faith And Devotion are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1993 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK, Germany, Guatemala, Brazil and more. One of them is Mute STUMM 106, released March 22, 1993.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STUMM 106, INT 146.888, 920668, 670.9424) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STUMM 106 A1 DMM and STUMM 106 B1 TOWNHOUSE DMM DMM. 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.
