20 vinyl pressings of Destroy The Machines are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1995 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in US, Germany. One of them is Victory Records VR 22 LP.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VR 22 LP, VE 22 LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VR 22 S1 There is a Lake St. In every city that... Metropolis Mastering Chicago M.J.R. L-44456 and VR22S2 ...spawns human garbage M.M.M.J.R. L-44456-X. 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.
