14 vinyl pressings of Feels Like Heaven are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1993 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK, Belgium, France, Germany and more. One of them is Pulse-8 Records 12LOSE55.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12LOSE55, LOSE 55, 12 LOSE 55 DJ, 2100651) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 LOSE 55 A-1-1- and 12 LOSE 55 AA-1-1-. 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.
