28 vinyl pressings of Summer Death are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2013 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2013, in US. One of them is Soft Speak Records MGB012.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MGB012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PIRATES PRESS -- MGB012A 114459E1/B and PIRATES PRESS -- MGB 012B 114459E2/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.
