28 vinyl pressings of Luvstruck are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1998 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1998, in Netherlands, Germany. One of them is District Records DISTRICT 006, released October 23, 1998.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DISTRICT 006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 08 40204 20 1A1 DISTRICT 006 and 08 40204 20 1B1 DISTRICT 006. 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.
