Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6073 308, CB. 156, CB.156, BCP1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6073 308 1W 1 670 111 and AA 6073 308 2W 1 (P) 1971 670 111. 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.
