15 vinyl pressings of Counting Down The Days are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2006 and 2007.
The earliest pressings are from 2006, in Italy, UK. One of them is Oxyd Records OX5199 BIS, released November 6, 2006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OX5199 BIS, OX5199-Promo, 12TIVDJX-245, 12TIVDJ245) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OX 5199 BIS INFO SIDE and OX 5199 BIS WHITE SIDE. 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.
