25 vinyl pressings of From Enslavement To Obliteration are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1988 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK. One of them is Earache MOSH 8, released September 16, 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MOSH 8) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO MOSH 8 A1 and MPO MOSH 8 B1. 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.
