10 vinyl pressings of Born This Way are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2011 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 2011, in US, Europe. One of them is Streamline Records B0015373-01, released June 7, 2011.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use B0015373-01, 602527744612, 0602527641263) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, B0015373-01-LP1A RJ STERLING and B0015373-01-LP1B RJ STERLING. 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.
