Vinyl pressings
by My Morning Jacket · 2005
Z was first pressed on vinyl in 2005. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
2 pressings came out in 2005, 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.

10 vinyl pressings of Z are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2005 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2005, in US. One of them is Badman Recording Co. BRC-947, released October 2005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BRC-947, ATO0049) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BRC-947-A mmj plus the phabulous philsom phive equals pure relaxation? KPG@ATM 13546.1(2) and BRC-947-B KPG@ATM 13546.2(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.
