10 vinyl pressings of Banquet / Staying Fat are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2004 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 2004, in UK. One of them is Moshi Moshi Records Moshi 10, released March 3, 2004.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Moshi 10, moshi 10, WEBB066LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 04-3 and MOSHI 10A1. 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.
