Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Bossanova are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, US, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is 4AD CAD 0010, released August 13, 1990.
How do I tell if my copy of Bossanova is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAD 0010, CAD D 0010, 9 60963-1, L 30425) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JA MPO CAD 0010 A¹ and MPO CAD 0010 B¹. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Bossanova on vinyl worth?
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.
