32 vinyl pressings of At War With Satan are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1984 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in UK, Canada, Finland, France and more. One of them is Neat Records NEAT 1015.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NEAT 1015, NEAT (P) 1015, BRC 1900, SB 18008) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NEAT 1015 A GG 13.1.84 and NEAT 1015 B GG UTOPIA. 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.
