15 vinyl pressings of I Found U are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2007, in UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium and more. One of them is Axtone Records AXT003, released May 2007.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AXT003, 12TIV-261, 12TIVY261, 12TIVY-261) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 66979 1A AXT 003 and 66979 1B AXT 003 WALLY MASTERPIECE. 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.
