14 vinyl pressings of Uh La La La are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1997 and 1999.
The earliest pressings are from 1997, in UK, US, Europe, Canada and more. One of them is Dance Pool ALEX1P.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ALEX1P, EAS 42074, DAN 664517 6, NU-313) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 31 108 20 1A1 and -A1- JD. 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.
