Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Covenant are there?

When was Covenant first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK. One of them is Earache MOSH 81.

How do I tell if my copy of Covenant is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MOSH 81) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MOSH81A1 RAYS MPO and MOSH81B1 RAYS MPO.
