11 vinyl pressings of Shi-Du - The Remixes are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1995 and 2001.
The earliest pressings are from 1995, in Germany. One of them is Universal Prime Breaks DMDUPB 003R.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DMDUPB 003R, UPB 003R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DMDUPB003R-Aı SIMON - THE EXCHANGE and DMDUPB003R-Bı SIMON - THE EXCHANGE. 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.
