The earliest pressings are from 2003, in UK, US, Italy, Australia and more. One of them is Milk & Sugar Recordings Msrm 2003 / 11.
How do I tell if my copy of Gia is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Msrm 2003 / 11, MT07, 12TIVDJD199, UL 1187-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MSRM2003/11A and MSRM2003/11B SST. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Gia 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.
