11 vinyl pressings of Hate Songs In E Minor are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1991 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in UK. One of them is Earache MOSH 36.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MOSH 36) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO MOSH 36 A1 HATE THY NEIGHBOUR - TRANSFERMATION and MPO MOSH 36 B1 THE EVIL FORCES OF DARK CHAOS STRUGGLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. 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.
