Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 683.253 JCL, 683 253 JCL, FJL 103) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FON 6 AA 683 253 1L 1 670 111UC1 D2A5 and FON 6 AA 683 253 2L 2 670 113C1 AA2. 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.
