11 vinyl pressings of Thru Tha Roof are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 2000 and 2001.
The earliest pressings are from 2000, in Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Spinnin' Records SP 018.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 018, 587 752-1, 74321 84356 1, DO IT 37-00) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
