Vinyl pressings
by Slowdive · 2023
Everything Is Alive was first pressed on vinyl in 2023. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
10 pressings came out in 2023, the album's first year, in 2 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DOC232, 656605153216, DOC232JLP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DOC232LP A CM 1580722 259794E1 and DOC232LP B CM 1601967 259794E2. 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.
