No Prayer For The Dying

I've got five pressings of this record, from five countries. Every one's been read off the copy itself: two pinned down and three likely.

The collection

Each tile shows the part of that copy where these pressings actually differ — the label on a record, the shell or the packaging on a cassette or CD — because the sleeve artwork is the same on nearly all of them. Every one links to its own page with the full photographs and evidence.

How rare is any of this?

Every other number on this page describes a record I own. These describe the world around it: for each version Discogs lists, how many collectors say they own one and how many are still after it. Real counts, not guesses — but not a pressing run either, and no proof that a record is rare. They count only collectors who log their records online, and those aren't spread evenly across the world. Read it as demand against supply, and trust Want per owner over the raw number of owners.

What the grades mean

One candidate left standing isn't proof. Discogs lists what collectors have catalogued, and nobody's catalogued every pressing ever made, so I can't rule out one that was never listed.

Confirmed
Country and catalogue number match, and so does at least one mark that belongs to this release alone: a barcode, a printer code, a legal-deposit number, a label matrix.
Likely
One candidate matches on country and catalogue number, and nothing else in the photographs was legible enough to check it a second way.
Still up in the air
Two or more editions still fit. Each page names the ones left standing, and the one photograph that would settle it.
