15 vinyl pressings of Oh-La-La-La are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1996 and 2003.
The earliest pressings are from 1996, in UK, Belgium, France, Germany and more. One of them is ZYX Music ZYX 66053-12.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZYX 66053-12, PROMO 022-12, CT 2401, OTB 2262-6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZYX 66053 - 2A SST 33UPM and ZYX 66053 - 2B SST 33UPM. 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.
