10 vinyl pressings of ...I Care Because You Do are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1995 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in UK. One of them is Warp Records WARP LP 30, released April 24, 1995.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WARP LP 30, WARP LP P 30, WARPLP 30) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WARPLP 30 A1 DAMONT G and WARPLP 30 B1 DAMONT F. 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.
