Vinyl pressings
by Halsey · 2015
Badlands was first pressed on vinyl in 2015. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
5 pressings came out in 2015, the album's first year, in 3 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2547419828, 2547360373, 2547419811, 0602547419811) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2547360366-A G1 and 133747E1/A MASTERED BY CAPITOL. 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.
