14 vinyl pressings of Faith Healer are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, US, Germany, Spain. One of them is Mute mute 110, released March 9, 1992.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use mute 110, 12 mute 110, 0-40345, P12 MUTE 110) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MUTE 110 B̶̷̸̲̲̲̿̅1̶̷̸̲̲̲̿̅ A1 — DAMONT E and MUTE 110 B1 — DAMONT C. 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.
