10 vinyl pressings of Low Level Owl: Volumes I + II are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2006 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 2006, in US. One of them is Gilead Media GLM004, released March 14, 2006.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GLM004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 64029E1/A "PIRATES PRESS GLM004-1 A" and 64029E2/A "PIRATES PRESS GLM004-1 B". 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.
