32 vinyl pressings of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes are listed here, from 22 countries, released between 1972 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Japan, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records AM-1357.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AM-1357, 1357, AMS 891, AM-143) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2313 and 2314. 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.
