Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TLP 822, CMC 013007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TLP-822-A HEJ VA HAR DU KOMA L ÖRONEN SGI PD-CR and TLP-822-A SGI MÄRKLIGT KANSKJE JA PD-CR. 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.
