17 vinyl pressings of 7-Tease are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1974 and 1975.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 33245, S EPC 69104, ECPO-11, ELPS 3715) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-33245 1A WME MI-N 5 and BL-33245-1B WME MI-N A 6 2. 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.
