11 vinyl pressings of Where's Your Head At are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2001 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2001, in UK, US, France. One of them is XL Recordings XLT140, released November 26, 2001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XLT140, ASW 38803, JAXL 007, ASW 69989-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLT 140 A2 Damont GUY'S THE EXCHANGE and XLT 140 B2 Damont. 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.
