13 vinyl pressings of Only Me are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 1995 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in UK, France. One of them is Systematic SYSX 15, released July 17, 1995.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SYSX 15, HYPER 1, HOOJ 032, sys dj15) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 95 6 SYSX 15 A1 and DFI 95 6 SYSX 15 AA1. 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.
