11 vinyl pressings of We Are All Made Of Stars are listed here, from 3 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 2002, in UK, US, Europe. One of them is Mute P12MUTE268.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use P12MUTE268, 63881-27745-1, PL12 MUTE 268, PXL12MUTE268) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P 12 MUTE 268 A' DAMONT MANDY - THE EXCHANGE and P 12 MUTE 268 AA' 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.
