90 vinyl pressings of I Remember Yesterday are listed here, from 39 countries, released between 1977 and 1983.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBLP 7056, NBLP 7056 DJ, LCB - 10004, GTLP 025) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBLP-7056-AS CP3 AZ ❀ and NBLP-7056-BS CP2 AZ ❀. 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.
