12 vinyl pressings of Strange World, The Mixes are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 2000 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 2000, in Switzerland. One of them is Sog Records SOG 006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SOG 006, SOG 007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SOG 006 A SST 45 uPM and SOG 006 B SST 45 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.
