Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 63825, S 63 825, PLD 2022, GS-20103) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ℗1969 J9 ◊V A1 27 654105 S1 S 63825 S1 and ℗1969 J9 ◊V F 27 654105 S2 S 63825 S2. 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.
