5 pressings came out in 1970, the album's first year, in 2 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

13 vinyl pressings of Nr. 1 are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1970 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Austria, Germany. One of them is Amadeo AVRS 9255.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AVRS 9255, UAS 29 110 I) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C-VSTX 1198 and C-VSTX 1199. 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.
