Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.

11 vinyl pressings of A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2007 and 2018.
The earliest pressings are from 2007, in US. One of them is Go-Kart Records GK 131.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GK 131) 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.
