10 vinyl pressings of Shecan are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1999, in Germany, UK, Belgium. One of them is Superstition SUPER 2102-6, released April 30, 1999.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUPER 2102-6, HOOJ 76, HOOJ 76R, SB99001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, none and 62102-6 B K 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.
