by Da Hool · 1997
Meet Her At The Love Parade was first pressed on vinyl in 1997. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
9 pressings came out in 1997, the album's first year, in 6 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

31 vinyl pressings of Meet Her At The Love Parade are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1997 and 2010.
The earliest pressings are from 1997, in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and more. One of them is Kosmo Records Kos 008, released June 30, 1997.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Kos 008, ZO96006R, S3 664514 8, S3 664514 6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, KOS 008-12 A SST 45 UPM and KOS 008-12 B SST 33 UPM. 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.
