50 vinyl pressings of Rust In Peace are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1990 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Colombia, Portugal and more. One of them is Capitol Records EST 2132, released September 24, 1990.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EST 2132, ESTPD 2132, C1-91935, 11001332) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EST 2132 A-1-1-1 and EST 2132 B-1-1-2. 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.
