55 vinyl pressings of Bonded By Blood are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1985 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Torrid Records TOR 666, released April 1985.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TOR 666, MFN 44, BRC 1939, RR 9787) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TOR 666 A2 MX 8019 A 41201-1 19613 (3) and A TOR 666 B MX 8019 B 19530 (3). 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.
