Vinyl pressings
by If These Trees Could Talk · 2012
Red Forest was first pressed on vinyl in 2012. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
3 pressings came out in 2012, the album's first year. 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.
PIRATES PRESS - SOS004 A 98072E1/AA-side stamped
PIRATES PRESS - SOS004 B 98072E2/AB-side stamped

16 vinyl pressings of Red Forest are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2012 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 2012, in US. One of them is Science Of Silence Records SOS004, released April 2012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SOS004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PIRATES PRESS - SOS004 A 98072E1/A and PIRATES PRESS - SOS004 B 98072E2/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.
