24 vinyl pressings of X-Ray (Follow Me) are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1997 and 2002.
The earliest pressings are from 1997, in Germany, UK, Europe, France. One of them is Energized Records DMDENG 026-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DMDENG 026-1, DMD ENG 028-1, DMD ENG 026-1, 664256 8) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
