Vinyl pressings
by Manchester Orchestra · 2021
The Million Masks Of God was first pressed on vinyl in 2021. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
15 pressings came out in 2021, 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.

17 vinyl pressings of The Million Masks Of God are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2021 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 2021, in US, Europe, UK & US. One of them is Favorite Gentlemen LVR01883, released April 30, 2021.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LVR01883, LVR01793, LVR01882, LVR01936) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LVR01793-A WELL MADE MUSIC dp#2 and #18. 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.
