33 vinyl pressings of Rage For Order are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1986 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, UK, Japan, Argentina and more. One of them is EMI America ST-17197.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-17197, AML 3105, EYS-91171, 58447 [81] 2405791) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, B-24204-Z1 ST-1-17197-Z1 DMM MASTERDISK H.W. Δ13168 1-1 and ST-2-17197-Z1 DMM B-24205 MASTERDISK H.W. Δ13168-X 1-1. 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.
