33 vinyl pressings of Patient Number 9 are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2022 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2022, in Europe, US, Germany, Japan and more. One of them is Epic 19658723711, released September 9, 2022.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 19658723711, 19658749861, 19658729281, 19439939221) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MRP3887/19439932811-A 244562E1 1278409 19439932811-A (6) RKS STERLING and MRP3887/19439932811-B 244562E2 1315366 19439932811-B (6) RKS STERLING. 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.
