24 vinyl pressings of Pulverturm are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1998 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in Germany, UK, Italy. One of them is Kosmo Records KOS 022, released September 17, 1998.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KOS 022, NIELS1, NIELS2, MVM 9812) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, KOS 022 A SST 33 UPM and KOS 022 B SST 33 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.
