14 vinyl pressings of Addicted To Bass are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2001 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 2001, in UK, Canada. One of them is Gusto Records 12GUS6, released December 17, 2001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12GUS6, 12GUS6X, DAN 671123 6, P3GUSPT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRGUSPT A2 DAMONT and P1GUSPT B-1 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.
