11 vinyl pressings of Transcanadian Anger are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2018 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 2018, in France. One of them is Totem Cat Records TOTEM 025, released May 25, 2018.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TOTEM 025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SLUTCHMETAL A2 and MPO[Logo] ® 18 35626. 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.
