23 vinyl pressings of xx are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 2009 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 2009, in US, UK, UK & Europe. One of them is XL Recordings XL LP 450, released October 20, 2009.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XL LP 450, XLLP 450, YT031LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YT031LP | XL LP-450 A1 | B972408-01 A1 | NILZ - THE EXCHANGE Ⓤ and YT031LP | XL LP-450 B1 | B972408-01 B1 | NILZ - 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.
