21 vinyl pressings of Music are listed here, from 4 countries, released between 2000 and 2005.
The earliest pressings are from 2000, in UK, US, Europe, Germany. One of them is Maverick W537LC.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use W537LC, 9 44909-0, 7-16826, PRO-A-100305) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W537 LC A1 DAMONT and W537 LC B1 DAMONT. 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.
