The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France, Israel, Portugal, South Africa and more. One of them is Barclay 70 853.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 70 853, EP-281, BEP 700 113, BEY 502) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HBLY 70853 A and HBLY 70853 B. 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.
