Vinyl pressings
by Way Out West · 2002
Mindcircus 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.
19 pressings came out in 2002, the album's first year, in 5 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.
DISNTX 80 A1 PR-ESide A runout
DISNT X 80 B2 PR-ESide B runout

19 vinyl pressings of Mindcircus are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2002, in UK, US, Italy, Netherlands and more. One of them is Distinct'ive Breaks DISNT80, released March 18, 2002.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DISNT80, DISNTX80, 0 6700 33155 1 7, DP 80/1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
