22 vinyl pressings of 6 Feet Deep are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1994 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK, US. One of them is Gee Street GEEA 14.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GEEA 14, 314-524 016-1, PRLP 6853-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GEE A 14 A-1 SNA MIKE'S - THE EXCHANGE and GEE A 14 B-1 SNA MIKE'S - THE EXCHANGE. 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.
