How do I tell if my copy of Hallelujah is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FACT 260, 9 60945-1, 60945-1, 70748) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FACT 260 1A1 08 30034 20 A and FACT 260 1B1 08 30034 20 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.
