14 vinyl pressings of Inside Out are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1995 and 1996.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DAN 662483 6, DAN 662483 8, 662483 6, 662656 6) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 662483 20 1A1 and 12 662483 20 1B1. 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.
