Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SYSX 11, SYSXX 11, SYSSDJ 11, SYSXDJ 11) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SYSX 11 A and SYSX 11-AA1.

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.
