Vinyl pressings
by The Dillinger Escape Plan · 2007
Ire Works was first pressed on vinyl in 2007. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
3 pressings came out in 2007, the album's first year. 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.

16 vinyl pressings of Ire Works are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2007 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 2007, in US. One of them is Relapse Records RR6699-1, released November 27, 2007.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RR6699-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 73320E1/A I WAS EVERY QUESTION THAT NEVER HAD AN ANSWER and 73320E2/A REGRET IS PART OF YOUR NAME.... 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.
