24 vinyl pressings of In And Out Of My Life are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1999 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 1999, in UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and more. One of them is Defected DEFECT8, released October 18, 1999.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DEFECT8, MR44537, DEFECT8R, FLUID 002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DEFECT 8 A-2-1- [Metropolis Logo] Miles and DEFECT 8 AA-2-1- [Metropolis Logo] Miles. 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.
