Vinyl pressings
by Meshuggah · 2007
Chaosphere was first pressed on vinyl in 2007. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
1 pressing came out in 2007, the album's first year. 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.

12 vinyl pressings of Chaosphere are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2007 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 2007, in Italy. One of them is Night Of The Vinyl Dead Records NIGHT 021, released August 2007.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NIGHT 021) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 72640E1/A NIGHT 021 - SEE YOU IN VINYL SPHERE and 72640E2/A NIGHT 021... AND CATCH 33 (3). 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.
