11 vinyl pressings of I Love You...Stop! are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1997 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1997, in UK, Belgium, Canada, France and more. One of them is Multiply Records 12MULTY20.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12MULTY20, 12MULTY 20P, BY 9702-12, HB-085) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 MULTY 20 A2 GD THE EXCHANGE DMM and 12 MULTY 20 B2. 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.
