Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Leviathan are there?
45 vinyl pressings of Leviathan are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 2004 and 2026.
When was Leviathan first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 2004, in US. One of them is Relapse Records RR 6622-1, released August 31, 2004.
How do I tell if my copy of Leviathan is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RR 6622-1, RR6622-1, RR 6692-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RR-6622-A SPIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER and RR-6622-1-B TAKEN DOWN WITH HEARTS ALIVE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Leviathan on vinyl worth?
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.
