12 vinyl pressings of Selected Ambient Works Volume II are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1994 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK, UK & Europe. One of them is Warp Records WARPLP21LTD, released March 1994.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WARPLP21LTD, WARPLP21, WARP LP 21 LTD, WARP LP 21 / WARP LP 20) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WARP LP 21 A¹ and WARP LP 21 B¹. 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.
