11 vinyl pressings of Don't Believe The Truth are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2005 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2005, in UK, US, Europe. One of them is Big Brother RKIDLP30X.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RKIDLP30X, RKIDLP30, E 94493, HES 520149 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RKIDLP30 A-1 Ⓜ TWIG DAMONT C.G.P. and RKILP30 B-1 DAMONT C.G.P.. 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.
