14 vinyl pressings of Colored Sands are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2013 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2013, in France. One of them is Season Of Mist SOM 311LP, released August 30, 2013.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SOM 311LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 109573E1/A and 109573E2/A. 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.
