How do I tell if my copy of 101 is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Stumm 101, 1-25853, INT 192.650, VG 50415-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO STUMM TownHouse 101 A¹ and MPO STUMM TownHouse 101 B¹. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is 101 on vinyl worth?
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.
