The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Chocolate City CCLP 2008.
How do I tell if my copy of Secret Omen is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CCLP 2008, CCLP 2008 DJ, CAL 2058, CCL. 71056) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TI CCLP-2008-AS-8 and TI CCLP-2008-REI CT 5. 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.
