12 vinyl pressings of The Storm are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2006 and 2008.
The earliest pressings are from 2006, in Germany. One of them is Kingdom Kome Cuts KKC018, released December 11, 2006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KKC018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 102314A1FK and 102314B2FK. 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.
