Vinyl pressings
by Tragedy · 2002
Vengeance was first pressed on vinyl in 2002. 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 2002, 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.

10 vinyl pressings of Vengeance are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2002 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2002, in US, Germany. One of them is Tragedy Records 3.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3, SKULD 071) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TR-003 A RE1 8412.1(2) and TR-003 B1 RE1 8412.2(2). 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.
