12 vinyl pressings of Loo's Control are listed here, from 2 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, US. One of them is Suburban Base Records SUBBASE 15.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUBBASE 15, SUBBASE 015S, SUBBASE 15R, SUBBASE15) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUB BASE 15-A2 and SUB BASE 15-B1 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.
